"Throughout the past several offseasons, Patriots fans made it clear that the offense needed a top-tier wide receiver, which only became more important once they added Drake Maye to their roster. That was also the main goal of the new regime led by Mike Vrabel, ultimately leading them to sign Stefon Diggs in free agency after several other teams chose to pass."
"Given his impressive career, there were high h opes he would be exactly what the offense needed and elevate them to being a legitimate threat, despite coming off an ACL injury, and Diggs easily accomplished that while breaking some records in the process. The receiver has been a significant boost to Maye's second season, and his performance against the Dolphins, although not flashy, officially makes him the first receiver since Julian Edelman to record 1,000+ receiving yards in a season."
Stefon Diggs was signed to give the Patriots a top-tier receiving weapon for Drake Maye and the offense. Diggs returned from an ACL injury and produced at a high level, breaking records and milestones during the season. He became the first Patriots receiver since Julian Edelman to reach 1,000+ receiving yards in a season. Diggs has significantly boosted Maye's second-year development while providing veteran leadership, energy, and consistent production. Head coach Mike Vrabel publicly praised Diggs's attentiveness, energy and impact. The team has shown support amid recent accusations that could create future issues.
