"He will be huge for the Patriots. Helping out the young guys and showing everyone that New England is a desirable destination," a fan said.
"So hold on you guys don’t wanna receive that drama. He was leading the bills in receptions for three straight years, but he was still complaining really he’s done it at every team he’s been on," another fan said.

The Patriots add Diggs to their roster after a 2024 season in which none of their receivers had over 1,000 yards receiving. No Patriots receiver had more than three receiving touchdowns either.

Tight end Hunter Henry led the Patriots in receiving stats with 66 receptions for 674 yards and two touchdowns. They add Diggs, who nearly topped those numbers in just eight games last season.

Diggs went down in the Texans' Week Eight matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, suffering a torn ACL. In the eight games he played on the season, Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns. Had he not gotten injured, Diggs was on pace for a season with 100 catches and over 1,000 yards.

If he's able to remain healthy throughout the 2025 season, he'll be catching passes from a young sophomore quarterback in Drake Maye, who will likely be looking to the veteran receiver to serve as his security blanket. Diggs has the opportunity to become the receiver that New England has been searching for in recent seasons.
