McDaniels Calls Diggs’ Comfort a ‘Nine Out of Ten’ as Patriots Expand His Role

McDaniels portrays Diggs as nearly fluent to emphasize New England’s versatile, share-the-ball approach.

Overview

  • Diggs followed a six-catch, 101-yard Week 4 outing with coaches noting he was moved across formations for his first 100-yard game in 22 contests.
  • He clarified that describing his comfort as a “5 out of 10” was a facetious way to avoid complacency.
  • McDaniels praised Diggs for mastering multiple receiver spots, deploying him both outside and in the slot as part of weekly game plans.
  • The passing game remains distribution-heavy, with Kayshon Boutte, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Hunter Henry each leading the team in different weeks.
  • Through four games, Diggs has 19 catches on 22 targets for 213 yards as he heads into a primetime return in Buffalo.
