NFL Analyst Gives Stefon Diggs A Special Honor
Stefon Diggs is considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and as a member of the Buffalo Bills, he has high visibility and exposure by playing for one of the league’s best teams.
But when he came into the league, he wasn’t really thought to be all that.
Diggs was merely a fifth-round draft pick in 2015 by the Minnesota Vikings, and it took him several years to fully blossom into a star.
As a result, Pro Football Focus has ranked Diggs as the biggest draft steal over the last 10 years.

Diggs wasn’t much of a standout in his three seasons at the University of Maryland, and as an NFL rookie, he put up 720 yards and four touchdowns, which were solid numbers but not the type that indicate future stardom.
It wasn’t until his fourth season that he surpassed the 1,000 receiving-yard mark, and he made his first Pro Bowl in his sixth campaign, which was his first with the Bills.
Today, however, Diggs is a force to be reckoned with.
He has had at least 1,200 receiving yards while making the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons, and in two of those seasons, he has gone over 1,400 yards.
He led the league in receiving yards and was also named to the All-Pro First-Team in 2020.
Despite Diggs’ big production lately, the Bills have been unable to accomplish their ultimate goal.
They have made it to the AFC Championship Game only once in the last three years, and they haven’t been to the Super Bowl since the 1993 campaign.
If they are to finally win it all, Diggs will be a huge reason why.
