Stefon Diggs may still be without a team, but the veteran wide receiver has no doubts about his value. As NFL training camps draw closer, Diggs has issued a confident message to every franchise still looking to strengthen its receiving corps.
The four-time Pro Bowler declared there isn’t a No. 2 wide receiver in the league better than him, insisting teams should compare him directly with their current second option rather than questioning whether he still belongs in the NFL.
Diggs made the comments during a video posted to his YouTube channel.
“Name your number two receiver right now. Is he better than me?”
He then doubled down on the claim.
“There is no WR2 in the NFL better than me.”
It’s a statement designed to grab attention.
Diggs remains one of the highest-profile free agents on the market after being released by the New England Patriots in March. Despite entering his age-32 season, he is coming off another productive campaign, catching 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while helping New England reach Super Bowl LX.
The timing of his comments is no coincidence.
With training camps only weeks away, Diggs is still searching for his next opportunity and appears determined to remind teams he believes he can make an immediate impact.
Several franchises have already been linked with the veteran receiver.
The Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans and New York Giants have all been mentioned by various US outlets as potential landing spots, while ESPN has previously identified Diggs as a logical fit for teams seeking an experienced WR2 capable of helping a young quarterback.
Diggs’ confidence is nothing new.
Throughout his career, he has built a reputation as one of the NFL’s most competitive receivers, earning four Pro Bowl selections, two All-Pro honours and leading the league in both receptions and receiving yards in 2020.
While some teams may have concerns about his age and recent off-field distractions, Diggs believes his production speaks for itself.
Whether NFL front offices agree will become clear soon.
Training camps are fast approaching, and experienced receivers rarely remain unsigned for long.
If Diggs is right, there should be plenty of teams taking a close look at their current No. 2 receiver.
And asking themselves the same question he already has.
