5 things to know about new Patriots No. 1 wide receiver Stefon Diggs
Briefly

Stefon Diggs, a veteran wide receiver, has signed a significant three-year, $69 million deal with the New England Patriots. His arrival marks a major boost for the team and quarterback Drake Maye, especially as the Patriots have not had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2019. With a record of six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and four Pro Bowl nods from 2018-2023, Diggs offers the Patriots a prolific offensive weapon. However, there are concerns about how well he will adapt and impact the team moving forward, especially after his knee injury last season.
Diggs, a prolific talent, has a remarkable record, achieving 100-plus receptions in four straight seasons and establishing himself as a top wide receiver.
Before signing with the Patriots, Diggs was on pace for one of his best seasons yet, demonstrating his potential impact after a knee injury last season.
With the Patriots, Diggs aims to rekindle the passing game, which has struggled since Julian Edelman's 1,000-yard season in 2019.
Despite skepticism about his impact in Foxborough, Diggs brings an impressive resume to the Patriots, potentially reviving their aerial attack under quarterback Drake Maye.
