He has been everything the locker room needed and more, and he has spoken at length about his maturity when questioned about his change in demeanor. As one of the oldest receivers on the team, he's taken that role seriously and has spoken about approaching this season in a way the team needs."
"While speaking to reporters earlier this week, Diggs emphasized just how close the receiving corps is and how important it was for him to be a positive influence for the players around him, especially guys like Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas.

Initial concerns existed because of Diggs' departures from Buffalo and Minnesota and worries that prior antics would disrupt Mike Vrabel's new culture. Diggs has instead become a vocal, positive leader and mentor for younger receivers, emphasizing closeness in the receiving corps and taking responsibility as one of the oldest wideouts. He has spoken about his maturity and adjusted demeanor and has intentionally approached the season to meet team needs. Diggs has produced key performances in important games and has taken on the role of the receiving corps' voice while helping develop players like Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas. He did not put up a statistically memorable 2025 season.
