​We enjoy keeping tabs on former Minnesota Vikings figures here on Vikings Wire. We regularly discuss Kirk Cousins, a topic we know many fans love, but we also keep an eye on other notable Vikings who have left their mark on the franchise. Today, we wanted to take a closer look at former wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who has surfaced in an offseason full of headlines.
Diggs demonstrated in 2025 that he can still be a productive part of an offense, similar to how he thrived in New England with the Patriots. He racked up 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and found the end zone four times. Those numbers have Diggs convinced that, even though he is unsigned, he remains among the NFL’s elite at his position.
In a recent remark, Diggs proclaimed that he is superior to any other wide receiver who would slot in as a WR2 in the league. He stated, “My opinion, I can compete with anybody, but take those top wide receivers as your 1s, right? You can’t name a No. 2 better than me.” The confidence is unmistakable, especially from a veteran who just wrapped his seventh 1,000-yard season. Yet the broader picture includes some caveats: Diggs’ persistent issues and inconsistencies have lingered, and the Vikings’ current wideout situation adds nuance to any evaluation.
Jordan Addison stands out as a particular case in point. As the Vikings’ WR2, Addison has the potential to be a WR1 for many NFL teams that don’t have Justin Jefferson ahead of them. It’s entirely possible that Diggs isn’t definitively better than Addison at this moment, given Addison’s attracting talent and the situation in Minnesota. Still, Diggs’ confidence is noteworthy and speaks to his belief in his own abilities, as well as the value he could bring to a team in need of a proven playmaker.
This reflection on Diggs comes as part of a broader discussion about his career trajectory and how it intersects with the Vikings’ evolving wide receiver group. Diggs has always been known for his explosive plays and big-yardage seasons, and his recent performance reinforces the argument that he can still be an impact player when given the right system and targets. Whether or not he lands with Minnesota or elsewhere, his track record shows that he remains a legitimate threat in the NFL’s passing game.
