Patriots’ Stefon Diggs doesn’t comment on viral video

At the final practice of Patriots mandatory minicamp in Foxborough, Mass., on Tuesday, wide receiver Stefon Diggs spoke with reporters but did not address a viral video that has inspired speculation about his future with the team.
In the video, posted to social media, Diggs is seen enjoying himself on a boat with three bikini-clad women that included top-selling rapper Cardi B, but he’s also seen brandishing a plastic bag filled with a mysterious pink substance.
The 31-year-old Diggs has refrained from speaking about the incident, and did so again Tuesday despite some observers wondering if the four-time Pro Bowler could be in hot water with either his new team or the NFL at large.
First-year Patriots coach Mike Vrabel spoke recently on the importance of players making “good decisions.”
“I kind of keep my personal life personal,” Diggs said. “I had a conversation with Vrabel, obviously, and I’m going to echo everything that he said. Hope everyone makes good decisions. I had some conversations with people in the building as well. So, everything else is everything else, and the particulars are all internal.”
A First-Team All-Pro in 2020, Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Patriots in March.
He has described his rapport with Vrabel as being positive and expressed admiration for Vrabel’s championship pedigree.
“I’m a huge fan of him,” Diggs said. “I can’t wait to play for him. He’s got that itch that you want to run through a wall for him. I look forward to it. Me and him go back and forth in practice, and I’m not even participating.”
A year ago, Diggs played in just eight games for the Houston Texans due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament, breaking a string of six straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career. He has amassed 857 receptions for 10,491 yards and 70 touchdowns during his 10-year career split among the Minnesota Vikings (2015-19), Buffalo Bills (2020-23) and Texans (2024).
