Patriots, NFL Address Stefon Diggs Yacht Video

Stefon Diggs, newly signed by the New England Patriots to a three-year, $69 million contract, is facing scrutiny after a viral video showed him handing an unidentified pink substance to women during a yacht party reportedly attended by rapper Cardi B. The video emerged while Diggs skipped the team's voluntary OTAs, prompting questions about his off-field conduct and early commitment to the Patriots. Head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the situation by emphasizing the expectation of responsible behavior and stating that the matter will be managed internally, with private discussions. Vrabel also expressed confidence in Diggs’ abilities and underscored the team's focus on maintaining discipline and pursuing success. The controversy arises as the Patriots hope Diggs can end the team's prolonged absence of a 1,000-yard receiver and lead a youthful receiving group. Neither the NFL nor Diggs' representatives have issued additional public comments.
