Stefon Diggs

PositiveProjection0:34

Matt Harmon argues that Stefon Diggs remains an elite technician and impactful player despite a dip in raw athleticism and speed. Harmon notes that Diggs' 2024 and 2025 charting metrics are remarkably similar, with success rates of approximately 70% versus man/press coverage and 79.2% versus zone, which is actually a slight improvement over his performance with the Houston Texans.

0:00There's a reason that he's gone from
0:01being a fifth-round pick to being one of
0:03the best route runners, if not just one
0:04of the best receivers of the
0:05reception-perception era. Like this
0:07guy's an a capital E elite technician,
0:10you know, and he's he remains that way,
0:12which is why even as the the athleticism
0:14and some of the speed has dipped for
0:15him, he's still a super impactful
0:17player. I'm not too worried about him
0:18learning a new offense. He has a case to
0:20be one of the best route runners, if not
0:22the best route runner, period, of the
0:24reception-perception era. He's not that
0:26player anymore. I don't think anybody
0:27would argue that he's that player
0:28anymore. Or however, while the decline
0:30for him did begin in the 2023 season,
0:34the 2024 charting for Diggs and the 2025
0:37charting for Diggs is remarkably similar
0:40in a variety of metrics, not not just in
0:43how the route tree skews, but also just
0:45the overall success rates. I mean, he's
0:48been right around 70% in success rate
0:50versus man and press and 79.2% success
0:53rate versus zone this past year. It's
0:54just a tick up, actually, from where he
0:56was with the Houston Texans.
