“When the Minnesota Vikings gave Stefon Diggs a call back in 2015 to select him in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, the receiver wasn’t just sitting at home and waiting around like most draft hopefuls do. No, Diggs was actually watching film of himself to find the parts of his game that he needed to work on.
This strict work ethic the receiver displayed on draft day has stayed with him during his career with the Vikings. Thanks to his dedication to his craft, Diggs has evolved into one of the top players on Minnesota’s current roster.
On Tuesday, all of the blood and sweat he has put into becoming a great NFL receiver was rewarded with a contract extension from the Vikings.
Diggs’ new deal will keep him in the Twin Cities until 2024 and pay him more than $70 million. Money that might have not seemed attainable back in 2015 when he didn’t get drafted until the fifth round.
But after catching 200 passes for more than 2,400 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first three seasons with Minnesota, the team knew they had to make sure they didn’t let Diggs out of their grasp.
So before he could even think about becoming a free-agent in 2019, the Vikings worked night and day to come up with a new contract that their young receiver would agree to.
Yes, Diggs’ yearly salary will now be an amount that most people could only dream about. But for the Minnesota receiver, his new deal means so much more than just another zero on his paycheck."
