Patriots wideout Stefon Diggs was a breath of fresh air when the team signed him last offseason. Coming off a torn ACL, they were willing to take a chance on him. It worked out in everyone’s favor.
On the field, he has been everything for the AFC East champions. Off the field, he has been a headache. Last month, it was announced that Diggs was facing serious felony charges. The 31-year-old is charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges from an incident on December 2. Stefon Diggs allegedly smacked a private chef over a paycheck dispute at a Dedham residence.
He also has a slew of baby mama drama with several women. Not to mention, he has a new kid with Cardi B, his current girlfriend, who is still legally married to another man.
Aside from all of that, he continues to show off on the field at the right times. On Sunday against the Texans, Stefon Diggs had 40 yards receiving and one touchdown, per ESPN. It helped the Patriots move to the AFC Championship game.
After the game, cameras caught Diggs crying his eyes out as he left the field.
