When Stefon Diggs was brought in to the Patriots in free agency, the naked eye test immediately tells you that the biggest beneficiary was Drake Maye and the passing game. New England needed to bring in a number one receiver, and despite tearing his ACL last season, Diggs has looked like himself during the start of training camp.
Third-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez will likely be another guy who shifts his game to a higher gear thanks to Diggs' presence. Gonzalez had a strong season in 2024, allowing just two touchdown receptions. One of them came at the hands of Diggs when the Houston Texans came to Foxborough in Week 6.
