Patriots Sign Stefon Diggs, Enhance Offense for 2025 Season

The New England Patriots' acquisition of veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs is generating optimism for the team's offense, despite his recent ACL injury. Diggs, who signed a three-year deal after a productive but injury-shortened stint with the Houston Texans, is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab and impressing teammates during offseason workouts. Tight end Austin Hooper and quarterback Drake Maye have praised Diggs' energy, explosiveness, and leadership, with Hooper calling him "a freak" for his athleticism. Diggs' track record of six straight 1,000-yard seasons and his leadership qualities are seen as much-needed assets for a receiving corps that has struggled in recent years. His presence is expected to support Maye's development and revitalize the Patriots' offense, which has lacked a top-tier receiver since Julian Edelman's 2019 campaign. Early indications suggest Diggs could have an immediate impact if he returns to form.
