In 2024, Diggs is coming off an injury-shortened season with the Houston Texans. In eight games, he finished with 47 receptions for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns.

In a press conference held on Friday, Diggs mentioned that Coach Mike Vrabel was “a big draw” on his decision to sign here.

“I also kind of factored in he was a former player, and a player-to-coach relationship--it kind of works, meshes really well with coaches that played at one time.”

Diggs also mentioned that he’s excited to get to work with Patriots Quarterback Drake Maye.

“I really look forward to it... You ask around, he has a lot of similarities with, what people say through the grapevine, he acts a lot like Josh [Allen]”
