The talented Minnesota Vikings wide receiver talked on Friday about the team’s new offense under Kevin Stefanski and how he’s looking forward to being a part of it.
In 2018, Minnesota Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs had himself a career-best performance. Diggs set new single-season career-highs for catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns last year.
Heading into 2019, the Vikings receiver is looking to perform even better than he did last season. Considering he’s still only 25-years-old, there’s a very good chance that Diggs hasn’t even reached his full potential yet in the NFL.
Helping Diggs take that next step in his career this season will be new Minnesota offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski. Since joining the Vikings in 2015, the young receiver has worked with a total of four different offensive coordinators including Stefanski.
It sounds like Diggs is pretty fired up though about Minnesota’s current offensive play-caller and what he can do for the team in 2019. On Friday, the Vikings receiver shared his feelings about Stefanski taking control of the offense this season.
"“I have 100 percent confidence in (Kevin) Stefanski. Being with him for the short time last year, being with him in the spring, and going into training camp, I’ve got a lot of respect for him. I’m just excited. I’m not so much anxious, more excited than anything being around him. He’s been around the building for a while, so (our) relationship has grown and I’m looking forward to the year.”"
Diggs’ feelings about Minnesota’s newest offensive scheme seems to be pretty common among the majority of the team’s players this year.
Everyone is aware that the unit was productive last season, but they also know that they could have performed even better given the amount of talent they have on the offensive side of the ball.
The Vikings’ offense has a lot of potential to be very good in 2019. It’s just up to Stefanski to figure out how to utilize his players as best as he can.
Something Minnesota’s previous offensive coordinator was unable to accomplish.
