"Though Diggs was coming off a serious ACL knee injury, the expectation was that at some point in the season, he'd assume the mantle of the alpha wide receiver for Drake Maye. Diggs is by far the most talented receiver on the team. Having him available for Week 1 was a huge plus for both Vrabel and quarterback Maye. To date, he has been solid on and off the field for this young team."
"To be an effective leader, you have to be a productive player. Thus far, while he hasn't taken the top of any defense yet, neither has he dramatically disappointed. In three games, he has 13 catches to lead the team, with 112 yards. While not Pro Bowl-level, at that rate, he'll have 73 catches for the season, which would eclipse last season's high. And he's also checking in as a leader, and that has benefits that don't appear on the stat sheet."
Mike Vrabel dramatically retooled the Patriots' offense in the 2025 offseason, prioritizing offensive line upgrades and wide receiver talent. Four new players will start on the offensive line in 2025, and TreVeyon Henderson was added as a running back playmaker. Veteran Mack Hollins, rookie Kyle Williams, and undrafted Efton Chism III joined the receiver room, but the biggest acquisition was former Pro-Bowler Stefon Diggs. Diggs, coming off a serious ACL injury, played Week 1 and through three games led the team with 13 catches for 112 yards, projecting to about 73 catches for the season while providing veteran leadership.
