During the team’s annual NFL draft party, Patriots personnel head Eliot Wolf was asked about Stefon Diggs recent visit to Foxborough to meet with the team’s brass.
Wolf characterized the two-day visit as a chance for the team to get a handle on where the star receiver was at following the ACL repair he underwent late last year.
“Stefon, obviously, a really good player. he was coming off an injury last year, so it was something we wanted to take a look and see where that was at,” Wolf told season tickets holders at the event. “His agents, Adisa Bakari, Jeff Whitney, great guys, they do a great job.
“So, they’re people we always stay in contact with him, and other players.”
Wolf didn’t divulge any more than that.
During the trip, Diggs had dinner with Patriots staff members Wednesday night, then underwent testing Thursday.
He left the building without a deal.
The Patriots have a significant need at receiver, and by the sound of it, were doing due diligence on Diggs, who wasn’t re-signed by the Houston Texans.
Given the injury and recovery timeline, chances are Diggs, who is reported to be ahead of schedule, would likely miss time at the start of the year.
The 4-time Pro Bowl receiver, who turns 32 later this year, had a productive 2024 season before suffering the injury.
He played in eight games, and caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns.
