Stefon Diggs’ Latest Activity During France Vacation Turns Heads
The New England Patriots are enjoying some time off before they kick off training camp in July. As a result, some players have decided to go on vacation, with new star wide receiver Stefon Diggs heading to France. During his time overseas, Diggs’ latest activity managed to catch the attention of fans.
In an effort to improve the talent level around second-year quarterback Drake Maye, the Patriots signed Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract in free agency. The former Houston Texans stud is working his way back to full health, as he suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 last season.
Diggs’ stint with New England got off to a rocky start when a video of him handing a bag with an unidentified pink substance to a group of women on a boat emerged on social media. Ultimately, no punishments were handed out, and the team has put this incident behind them.
During mandatory minicamp, Diggs quickly emerged as a leader in the Pats wide receiver room, while he also continued to make progress in his injury rehab. Considering the controversy he recently found himself in, this was precisely what the team wanted to see.
Now, players are away from the team, with Diggs enjoying a European vacation. And while he may not be in Foxboro, MA, that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about football, as he shared a clip of himself running routes and catching passes on a field out in France.
In his first and only year with Houston, Diggs appeared well on his way to putting together another strong season. In his eight games played, he caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns, before he was forced to the sidelines with his aforementioned injury.
Now, he appears to be on track to return to action for New England in Week 1. While the veteran pass catcher still has a lot of ground to cover, reports have indicated that he’s ahead of schedule in his return from his ACL injury.
Seeing Diggs put in work, even while on vacation, will only further endear him to the Patriots and their fans. Of course, none of that will matter if he can’t produce on the field, but based on his recent work, Diggs seems intent on authoring a bounce-back season with New England in 2025.
