It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for wide receiver Stefon Diggs. After his release from the New England Patriots, many wondered where he’d turn up next. Well, he’s officially been spotted back on the football field, making his first public appearance since the team parted ways with him.
Back in Action at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic
Diggs was seen participating in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21st. This event brought together current and former NFL players for a three-team competition vying for the inaugural flag football title. It was a chance for players to showcase their skills in a more casual, yet still competitive, setting.
Notably, Diggs played on the same team as Patriots legend Tom Brady. The squad, co-captained by Brady and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, was named Founders FFC. Diggs was even captured on video strategizing with his teammates before the games kicked off.
A Highlight Reel Moment
During the competition, Tom Brady connected with Stefon Diggs for a touchdown, giving their team an early 8-0 lead. However, this highlight proved to be the peak for Founders FFC, as they ultimately lost the game 43-16 to Team USA. Team USA went on to win the championship title.
The official reason for Diggs’ release from the Patriots was financial, as the team aimed to save $26.5 million for the upcoming season. Despite failed attempts to restructure his contract, reports suggest a potential reunion with the Patriots hasn’t been entirely ruled out.
What’s Next for Diggs?
While his time with the Patriots was brief, seeing Diggs back on the field, even in a flag football setting, offers a glimpse into his continued passion for the game. Fans are eager to see where his NFL career will take him next, whether it’s a return to New England or a new chapter with another team.
