Minnesota Vikings: 10 best fifth round draft picks of all time
By Adam Carlson
3. Stefon Diggs, WR – 2015
It’s impressive for Stefon Diggs to be this high on the list after only four seasons in the NFL, but the impact he has made on the Minnesota Vikings in that short period of time is extremely hard to measure.
Sure, odds are that he will always be best remembered for the “Minneapolis Miracle” play against the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round of the 2017 playoffs, but the wide receiver continues to improve with each passing year.
In 2017, he flirted with reaching the 1,000 yard mark for the first time in his career but finally eclipsed that mark in 2018 when he reached career-highs in receiving yards (1,021), receptions (102), and receiving touchdowns (9).
In his four seasons, he has accumulated 302 catches for 3,493 yards and 24 touchdowns while showing off a great ability to make tough catches and pick up yards after the catch. At only 25 years old, he could easily make his way up this list in the future.
