Free agent Stefon Diggs says no WR2 is better than him
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Stefon Diggs became a free agent on March 11 after the New England Patriots released him in a cost-cutting move, and he remains unsigned as training camp approaches.
- The Patriots replaced Diggs, their leading receiver last season, with A.J. Brown, a true No. 1 wide receiver, prompting Diggs to acknowledge he is no longer a top receiver but claims he is better than any NFL No. 2 wide receiver.
- Diggs highlighted that while all 32 NFL teams likely have a No. 1 receiver, only about seven are "real No. 1s," and he challenged critics to name a No. 2 receiver who outperforms him.
- Despite underestimating some top receiving duos in the league, Diggs posted solid stats last season with 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and four touchdowns, including postseason contributions.
- Following a legal review that cleared him of assault charges, Diggs remains optimistic about his future and confident he will find the right team soon.
