Stefon Diggs Addresses Controversial Yacht Video Amid NFL Training
In a recent press conference, Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots wide receiver who signed a three-year contract this offseason, addressed the buzz surrounding a viral social media video featuring him on a yacht. The footage, which has sparked considerable speculation, shows Diggs appearing to hand a bag of pink crystals to several women while on the boat.
When reporters at the Patriotsโ mandatory minicamp inquired about the video, Diggs emphasized his desire to keep his personal life private. "I want to be as candid with you as possible, but I prefer not to discuss my personal life with people I don’t know," he stated. He acknowledged a conversation with head coach Mike Vrabel, reiterating Vrabelโs hopes that all players are making responsible choices.
Keeping Matters Internal
Diggs clarified that the situation was being handled internally, stating, "I had discussions with people in the building, and everything else is just thatโeverything else." He refrained from providing specifics about the contents of the bag shown in the video, asserting that it was an internal issue. "It’s a conversation happening internally, which I can’t elaborate on," he added.
The circumstances surrounding the recording of the video remain uncertain. However, Diggs is focused on his recovery and preparation for the upcoming season. After suffering a torn ACL in Week 8 of the previous season, he has been working diligently to return to full strength.
Preparing for the Season Ahead
Diggs recently participated in offseason workouts with the Patriots, admitting he "hasn’t been around much" during the voluntary offseason program. The 31-year-old receiver expressed eagerness to be fully cleared for play. "Iโm grinding each and every day, and Iโm ready to get out there," he said when asked about his status for the season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on September 7. "I wouldnโt put a percentage on my readiness, but I have some work to do."
Head coach Mike Vrabel, in his first year leading the Patriots, has praised Diggs’ commitment to his rehab and engagement in team activities. "Heโs figuring out his role and staying up on the game situations," Vrabel noted. "Heโs engaged, and I like his energy."
A Proven Track Record
Stefon Diggs has a remarkable history in the NFL, recording over 1,000 receiving yards for six consecutive seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills. Last season, he played in eight games for the Houston Texans, finishing with 496 yards.
