Stefon Diggs is writing his comeback story. He 'can't thank God enough' it's with the Patriots.

""It was like a conglomerate, I guess," Diggs said, when asked why he picked the Patriots. "Young quarterback, showed some promise, showed some skill set, can throw the ball, is mobile and young. Also, [Josh] McDaniels. He's been around here for a long time. It's fun playing for him. He's called a lot of great plays here. And then, Vrabel. So, it's like a group effort for me, personally.""

""I think he's got to be proud of himself, I think that's one of the biggest things," Maye said. "Proud of his work, proud of how far he's come. I told him that the other day, he hit his one-year [mark] since surgery. Proud of the way he's handled what he's been through. "ACL surgery, bouncing back, making plays, being ready to go Week 1 says a lot about him as a football player, as a person, how much he's worked.""

Stefon Diggs signed with the New England Patriots in free agency despite coming off ACL surgery and multiple team options. The Patriots pursued a No. 1 receiver after consecutive 4-13 seasons and offered motivating elements including a promising young quarterback, Josh McDaniels' play-calling, and coach Vrabel. Diggs cited the combined roster and coaching factors as reasons for choosing New England. DraftKings lists Diggs among the top contenders for Comeback Player of the Year. Drake Maye praised Diggs' recovery, leadership, readiness for Week 1, and significant work returning from injury.
