New England Patriots - NESN.com
Everyone knows that quarterback Drake Maye has been the New England Patriots’ most valuable player during the 2025 season.
The second-year pro might even be the NFL MVP frontrunner.
Outside of Maye though, who has been the Patriots MVP entering Week 11?
ESPN’s NFL Nation reporters picked the non-QB MVP from each team on Tuesday and Patriots insider Mike Reiss chose wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
“There’s the stat line: 50 receptions for 554 yards and three touchdowns. And then there’s the leadership, as Diggs has been a force multiplier to help bring out the best in others,” Reiss wrote. “In Sunday’s win, running back TreVeyon Henderson credited Diggs with an inspirational halftime talk that sparked the rookie’s touchdowns of 55 and 69 yards in the second half. Diggs also recovered the game-sealing onside kick, reflecting how he has mostly come through in the critical moments.”
Diggs has unsurprisingly been Maye’s favorite target through the first 10 games of the season.
The four-time Pro Bowler leads New England by a wide margin in targets (61), receptions (50) and receiving yards (554) and has a chance at the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career.
Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Patriots in March and has been exactly what the team needed.
