Stefon Digg’s contract is official with the New England Patriots and now he must understand what number he will wear.
The wide receiver wore the N ° 1 with the Texans of Houston last season, but this issue is already taken by Ja’lynn Polk. So when a fan suggested him to wear him for the 2025 season when Diggs asked for her Instagram subscribers for suggestionsHe immediately explained why this will not happen.
“No, we (d) did not do that and the young boy Boutta has a happy new year … Believe in them,” Diggs wrote.
Polk had a recruited season with 12 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. But the executive vice-president of the players’ staff, Eliot Wolf, admitted that the patriots had not set off in the best position to succeed in 2024.
“He was a young player who entered, and he is mature, he is intelligent. I think, organizational, we may put too much on his plate early, and I think that has really slowed down his growth,” said Wolf during the NFL combination. “He is aware of it, and we talked about it. And he will continue to work hard and readjust and do the necessary things to improve.”
Diggs also wore n ° 14 when it was with the Vikings of Minnesota and the Buffalo Bills. But the newly signed secondary, Robert Spillane, has this number.
The patriots responded to a blatant need when they signed Diggs to a three -year agreement. While the wide receiver tore its ACL in week 8 of last year, it is ahead of the calendar in its recovery and, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, is on the right track to be ready for week 1.
Diggs’ rehabilitation impressed his physiotherapist, with whom he has been working since he has undergone surgery to repair the torn ACL.
“Honestly, I have done it for 14 years. I have never seen someone as beautiful as they did early. I mean, it’s crazy,” said Dr. Sharif Tabbah to Mark Daniels de Masslive. “I have to stop telling him that, so he’s not too excited. But he succeeded very well. It was very fun to work with him. ”
