60. . WR. (2015-present). Stefon Diggs. 8. player

The first active player on the list, Stefon Diggs exploded onto the scene after being a fifth-round selection out of Maryland in the 2015 NFL Draft, earning a starting role during his rookie season in Minnesota.

During his first year, Diggs gained 720 yards and had four touchdowns while adding three rushing attempts for 13 yards. After that year, Diggs was locked in as a starter for Minnesota and continued getting better.

Each of his next three seasons with the Vikings, Diggs gained at least 800 yards per year and caught at least 60 passes. This shows off his ability to make tough catches in traffic and make defenders miss in open space

Of course, it would be hard not to mention the play Diggs might be remembered for the rest of his career: the Minneapolis Miracle, an amazing catch, dodge and run to win the NFC Divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints on Jan. 14, 2018.
