Press Article: Stefon Diggs’ Absence Raises Eyebrows Amid Viral Video
Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs missed Wednesday’s optional OTA practice, igniting discussions around a viral video from Memorial Day weekend. The footage features Diggs on a boat holding a clear pouch with an unidentified pink substance, surrounded by women in swimsuits.
Head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the situation, expressing the team’s commitment to making responsible decisions both on and off the field. "We’re hoping that during our time here, we’re making great decisions," he stated. Although Vrabel confirmed he speaks with his players daily, he chose not to disclose specifics regarding his conversations with Diggs.
Entering his 11th NFL season, Diggs is a four-time Pro Bowler and carry a new contract with the Patriots worth up to $69 million. Following an ACL injury that ended his previous season early, the team is eager to get Diggs back in shape, as they aim for stability in their receiving corps, which hasn’t seen a 1,000-yard receiver since 2019.
As the off-season progresses, the Patriots will continue to prioritize accountability and performance both on the field and in the public eye.
