Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has made it clear he won't be taking his teammate Ja'Lynn Polk's jersey number, which he wore during his time with the Houston Texans. This decision highlights Diggs' commitment to fostering a positive environment in a Patriots receiving corps that is in need of veteran leadership. While Polk aims to improve upon a rookie season with 12 catches for 87 yards, Diggs is expected to serve as both a productive player on the field and a mentor in the locker room.

With his impressive track record of over 1,000 yards receiving in six of the past seven seasons, Diggs could significantly influence the development of young talents like Polk, Demario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte. His focus on helping the next generation of players could prove invaluable for the Patriots' future success.
