After a dominating win over the Panthers, Stefon Diggs says he can do even better in the upcoming game against the Bills: "I'd rate myself a 5/10"
Foxborough, September 30, 2025
The New England Patriots not only showed their strength in a dominating 42-13 win over the Carolina Panthers, but they also saw rookie receiver Stefon Diggs shine. Diggs made his mark in the game with six receptions for 101 yards, but he insists he still has a lot of potential, especially as he looks forward to the Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills.
Diggs, who has reached the 100-yard mark on 37 career receptions, marked the first time he has done so since recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury last October. However, when asked about his comfort level in Coach Josh McDaniels’ system, he modestly rated himself a 5/10. “I still have to learn, study and work harder,” Diggs shared. “Feeling comfortable is not just a state of mind; it’s about making the coach and teammates trust you by creating opportunities, executing correctly and supporting the quarterback.”
The journey back from injury has not been easy. Diggs revealed that he had to fight through physical and mental challenges to prove his worth. “I want to prove it not only to everyone but to myself,” he said. Specifically, when referring to the upcoming game against the Bills, Diggs confidently declared: “I know I can play much better. The game against the Bills will be my opportunity to explode and prove that the Patriots were right to put their trust in me.”
For Patriots fans, Diggs is not just a new weapon, but also a symbol of drive and ambition. As Week 5 approaches, he is ready to step up his performance against his former team. “I’m just getting started,” Diggs emphasized, promising an even more explosive performance. The upcoming game is not only a chance for the Patriots to maintain their winning streak, but also a stage for Diggs to continue to prove: he can still play much better.
