"Stefon Diggs has Drake Maye's back when things get rough. It's not a big deal to back your teammates when they're riding high and everything's rosy. But it's when the chips are down for a player that real leaders step up to pick up their teammates, prop them up, and provide support when they need it most. Diggs did just that for Drake Maye after his recent rough performance against Atlanta."
"Diggs' ability when healthy is clear. He was returning from an ACL tear, but now that he's regained fitness, his talent is evident. Yet his overall contributions to the team go far beyond his solid receiving skills. That's leadership right there, a mantle that Diggs hasn't shirked since he joined the team this spring. It's a bonus, since his on-field play has been excellent, and there's more to come from the former Pro Bowler."
Mike Vrabel signed four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs to boost the Patriots' receiving corps. Diggs returned from an ACL tear and has regained fitness, showing clear elite receiving ability. He has become the Patriots' top receiver and contributes beyond catches through leadership on a young, rebuilding roster. Diggs publicly supported rookie quarterback Drake Maye after a two-turnover game against Atlanta, demonstrating team-first mentality. His on-field play has been strong and his leadership has already inspired teammates. Continued recovery and integration suggest further production and influence as the season progresses.
