New England Patriots' receiver Stefon Diggs will be a crucial piece in determining the teams success in 2025 through his ability to lead and perform on and off the field.

Diggs doesn’t just have familiarity with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ scheme — it helped bring out the best seasons of his career. While in Minnesota, he was deployed in various roles, from working in the slot to being Minnesota’s deep threat all while playing under five offensive coordinators in five years.

The Patriots are hopeful that Diggs can get back to the level of productivity he showed before the injury, when he had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. That's a lot to ask of an aging wide receiver, but Diggs is a rare athlete with an unrivaled work ethic on and off the football field.
