Stock up: Stefon Diggs
Stefon Diggs started his sophomore season by slicing through Tennessee’s defense, catching seven passes for 103 yards.
The Vikings have been a run-first team for a while now, so any receiver who eclipses 100 yards is impressive. What’s even more impressive to me is the confidence Diggs is showing. There are certain positions on a football team that require a player to be confident, and receiver is perhaps the biggest one of them all. It’s good to see Diggs oozing confidence, let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into cockiness.
Bradford waiting in the wings to take over for Shaun Hill should only improve Diggs’ outlook. Bradford is similar to Teddy Bridgewater, as they both have incredible touch and accuracy on the short to intermediate throws. If Diggs can continue running precision routes, he will quickly become Bradford’s favorite target.
