New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye spoke about one of the team's biggest acquisitions in free agency—signing four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a three-year deal.
“When I was in high school he was a youngin’ in the league, and I had him on my fantasy team and things like that," Maye told media members on Thursday. "I was playing with him on "Madden." So, it’s pretty cool to now this season be throwing to him."
Diggs was signed by the Patriots in an effort to bolster their wide receiver room. He suffered an ACL injury last October, but he is hopeful to be ready to go by the start of the season. Before the injury, Diggs had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
He'll have an opportunity to pick right back up where he left off with one of the more promising young quarterbacks in the league.
The Patriots have gone to great efforts to surround Maye with improved offensive talent. Along with signing Diggs, they also drafted offensive tackle Will Campbell, running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kyle Williams.
There's hope that the Patriots offense will be considerably better than it was last season with the recent upgrades.
