Kyle Williams idolized Stefon Diggs growing up, but doesn’t want Patriots teammate to know that

Kyle Williams is not only living his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL, but he’s also doing it alongside a player he grew up admiring.

The Patriots’ rookie shared that Stefon Diggs was his favorite wide receiver growing up as a kid in Inglewood, California, following Saturday’s training camp practice. However, the Patriots’ veteran wide receiver doesn’t know that.

“Nah, not yet,” Williams told reporters with a laugh when asked if Diggs knew about the admiration he has for him. “Once he retires, then I got it.”

It might be hard for Diggs not to know that now as Williams wasn’t shy to share with the media.
