Stefon Diggs

Diggs is one of the most electrifying players to come through College Park in recent years. He’s been credited as the recruit that started the “Stay Home Movement.”

After wowing Maryland fans for three seasons, he’s putting the NFL on notice.

During his rookie season, Diggs caught 52 passes for 720 yards and four touchdowns. He was among the most productive rookie wideouts in the league.

Through the first four weeks of the 2016 season, not much has changed. Diggs already has 25 receptions for 372 yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, and New York Giants. The former Good Counsel (Md.) standout torched the Packers for 182 yards and a touchdown on national television.

Diggs currently sits at the top of Minnesota’s depth chart. With Adrian Peterson on the shelf for the majority of the season, Sam Bradford could continue to look Diggs’ way even more.
