The New England Patriots made a splash at the end of March by signing wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Many around the league have weighed in on the move, including an NFL executive who recently spoke with The Athletic's Mike Sando.
“That is not an accident,” an NFL executive said, via Sando. “The number for Diggs is not problematic. That is the difference in having a coach like Mike Vrabel, who is not going to be scared off by a player like Diggs. You watch, they will make a mark this year and be a tough out. They will beat a Buffalo or someone like that.”
Diggs has been one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL for years. He went six straight seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving. However, his production was limited last year due to a torn ACL injury cutting his season short. He still managed to rack up 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns.
The Patriots signed him to a three-year, $69 million contract with $26 million in guaranteed money.
Time will tell how things play out for Diggs and the Patriots. Nevertheless, the potential for production is certainly there for the four-time Pro Bowl receiver.
A healthy Diggs will be an asset for a Patriots team that struggled to find consistent production from the wide receiver position last season.
