The New England Patriots represent the third team of Stefon Diggs in as many years.
And with this comes a New Jersey number for the large veteran receiver for the third consecutive season.
After Diggs declared that he would not take the rank and would not pick the n ° 1, that he wore last season with the Texans of Houston, far from Ja’lynn Polk, Diggs landed on n ° 8 – No. 14, which he wore with the Vikings of Minnesota and the Buffalo Bills, has already been taken by Robert Spillane. Diggs has revealed what the number of Patriots will look like the number of uniform with a publication on social networks.
Diggs referred to the Bible for the reason for which he chose n ° 8, which became available after the release of the Patriots Ja’whaun Bentley. N ° 8 symbolizes the new beginnings in the Bible while Diggs undergoes a new chapter of his career with the Patriots.

The 31 -year -old Wideout signed a $ 69 million contract over three years to join the patriots at the end of March. He comes out of a torn ACL and we do not know when he is ready to adapt to New England.
Diggs was on the right track for its seventh consecutive reception season of 1,000 yards in 2024 before undergoing significant injury. When he is in good health enough to return to the field, he will compete as a n ° 1 receiver in the infraction of the patriots and will have a lot to prove because his free agent market felt particularly light.
And if Diggs can come back to wear No. 8, it may become his new lucky number.
