Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, was born on November 29, 1993. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings as the 146th pick in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played for the Vikings for five seasons and then was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2020. He was traded once more, this time to the Houston Texans, in April 2024. Diggs was named to the 2015 PFWA All-Rookie Team. Further, he is a four-time Pro Bowler from 2020 to 2023 and he led the NFL in receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535) in 2020. He sustained a season-ending knee injury (torn ACL) in October 2024. According to the Pro Football Reference, he has played in 144 games, recording 857 receptions for 10,491 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns as of January 2025.

Diggs went to Our Lady of Good Counsel High School and was invited to the 2012 U.S. Army All-American Bowl after his senior year. In the same season, he graduated as a five-star recruit, enrolling at the University of Maryland. In his junior season, he was named for the second-team All-Big Ten. During his college career, he played in 28 games, recording 150 receptions for 2,227 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, according to Pro Football Reference.

Who are Stefon Diggs’ brothers?

Stefon Diggs has two younger brothers: Trevon, born in 1998, and Darez, born in 1995. Both of them play football; Trevon Diggs is the cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys and Darez played for Morgan State University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Friendship Collegiate Academy Public Charter School in Washington, D.C.

The Diggs brothers were born to Stephanie and Aron Diggs and grew up in the greater Washington, D.C. Aron is primarily responsible for all his boys playing football; it all began when they were five years old. After school, he would take them to a local park for workouts. Unfortunately, Aron passed away in January 2008 at the age of 39 from congestive heart failure. Then Stefon was 14 years old when Aron died, Darez was 12, and Trevon was 9. Stephanie, their mother, was an Amtrak attendant for almost 30 years before retiring. Their father's death took a toll, and Stefon, as the eldest, took on parental responsibilities, like taking his brothers to the local park, as their father used to. (via People magazine)

As of January 2025, he has played in 58 games, recording 215 combined tackles, 20 interceptions, 63 passes defended, and two touchdowns, according to Pro Football Reference.
