Stefon Diggs Joins Patriots, Adopts No. 8 Jersey

Stefon Diggs, after recovering from an ACL injury, is set to start fresh with the New England Patriots, adopting the No. 8 jersey. Having signed a lucrative three-year, $69 million contract, Diggs aims to revitalize his career alongside second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The veteran receiver previously wore No. 14 with the Vikings and Bills and No. 1 with the Texans, but the number switch represents a new beginning. Despite concerns about his health due to his age and recent injury, Diggs' track record suggests he could have a significant impact if he remains fit. His past performance includes amassing over 1,000 receiving yards in multiple seasons, and the Patriots hope his presence will aid in the development of their young quarterback. As he integrates into the Patriots' lineup, fans and analysts are eager to see if he can reclaim his Pro Bowl form.
