| SUMMARY | ||||||||
|
Stefon Diggs is a WR with rare dangerous speed who can make would be tacklers miss in the open field. He has the strength to break some tackles and has great body control to adjust to throws. Diggs is maybe undersized at 6’0 tall, and needs to prove durability and game to game consistency. I believe Diggs has the kind of speed to be a deep threat in the NFL, and the talent to someday be a number 2 receiver in the NFL. |
