Stefon Diggs: More than we though he was
Anyone wondering who on the Minnesota Vikings is going to step up to help Sam Bradford out? Not Anymore. Two guys managed to step up for him on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. We all know that even very garbage QBs rely on their TE for production. Kyle Rudolph was expected to immediately take care of the 2008 Heisman Winner. Rudolph is expected to use his size and sneaky speed to assist his QB in putting up points. However, what was surprising was the performance of Stefon Diggs.
More than the deep ball
The 2015 fifth round pick was targeted 10-times and completed 9-catches for 182-yards and even saw pay-dirt. Diggs had a stellar first half, gaining 86-yds before the third quarter. Normally, Diggs is known for his ability to stretch the field by running the three common routes that speedsters generally run. Diggs was getting in and out of his routes with ease, clearly proving to be the best receiver on the field Sunday Night as he straight up embarrassed Demarious Randall all night long. I know his leaving to the Baltimore Ravens during the offseason is still fresh on Vikings’ fans hearts, so I won’t touch on it again. I’ll now bring the talk back to Diggs/Bradford.
Consistency is key
Here’s what is crazy: Bradford has only been in Minnesota for a couple of weeks, but his chemistry with Diggs this early is uncanny. You would think he’s been playing with the guy for years. Have I been wrong about Bradford all this time? Is he really a solid QB in this league or is he the most overrated waste of money to every play the game? Or is the former Maryland product just making him look better while at the same time proving to the world that he is more than just a speedster. I mean, he did have 7-catches for 103-yards last week. You be the judge. Leave a comment.
