Stefon Diggs Knows His Wide Receiver History

Minnesota Vikings fans have experienced all of the emotions with wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

He will forever be responsible for the Minneapolis Miracle.

He will also always be regarded as a wide receiver worthy of the diva definition that forced his way out .

It appears he is also a student of the game.

Former Minnesota Vikings WR Stefon Diggs knows the game Stefon Diggs played five years for the Minnesota Vikings.

After being drafted in the fifth round out of Maryland, he went on to put up over 4,600 yards and 30 touchdowns while wearing purple.

As much as Diggs can tend to talk about himself, he clearly knows the greats that came before him as well.

In a recent interview with GQ , he showed off some of that knowledge.

Randy Moss.

Theres no confusion.

Statistically, people want to throw in Jerry Rice just because he had 30,000 yards, he eclipsed everything.

He played with the best quarterbacks ever.

But Randy Moss did something for the game that nobody had ever done at that point.

And, to this day, they still hang their hat on You got Mossed, so I give him my one.

Its nice that Diggs gives a nod to former Vikings superstar Randy Moss .

Then again, its not as though hes wrong and everyone else cant see it.

Diggs talks of opinions to open the segment, but the opinion regarding Moss that matters has given him a bronze bust in Canton, Ohio.

They played in the era right after the Stickum.

And he played with gloves that probably werent that sticky.

He was catching everything with one hand, and I think Cris Carter had some of the best hands to ever play the game.

Similarly to the Moss comment, its hard to argue against the selection of Carter as a representative of quality hands.

Diggs played with a great pass catcher in Minnesota as well while teaming up with Adam Thielen.

It remains to be seen how Diggs will fit in with the Houston Texans .

He joins a relatively crowded wide receiver room for quarterback C.J.

Stroud.

Theres no reason that Diggs cant generate a significant amount of targets however.
