Why Patriots’ Stefon Diggs appreciates decorating his house for Christmas appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

New England Patriots star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has come a long way on the football field — and in life.

He got to realize it again recently, when he checked out his house that was decked out with Christmas lights.
In a clip Diggs shared on social media, a fake reindeer can also be seen in the front yard, adding more to the holiday spirit.

“I didn’t have all this growing up,” Diggs can be heard admitting.

Football has indeed given Diggs a lot, and it continues to be the gift that keeps on giving for the former Maryland Terrapins star wideout.

At one point in the video, Diggs showed his neighbors’ houses, which he said didn’t have much in terms of Christmas decorations compared to his.

The 32-year-old Diggs surely can afford to live the life now. According to Spotrac, the 32-year-old wide receiver has career earnings in the NFL of over $155.8 million. That includes the three-year, $63.5 million contract he signed with the Patriots in March.

New England’s investment in Diggs is being repaid with solid production on the field by the veteran. So far in the 2025 NFL campaign, the four-time Pro Bowler has 869 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 76 receptions and 93 targets for the Patriots, who have already clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs and are on the verge of winning the AFC East.

With a 12-3 record, Diggs and the Patriots can win the AFC East with a win this coming Sunday against the lowly New York Jets and a loss (or tie with) by the Buffalo Bills to the Philadelphia Eagles.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel praised Stefon Diggs’ play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Diggs signed a three-year, $63.5 million contract with the Patriots this offseason to be a key receiver for the team. The veteran has made an impact on Drake Maye and the offense, and he showed on Sunday against the Ravens.

The 32-year-old had a stellar game as he had nine receptions for 138 yards. It was a solid performance from Diggs, and Vrabel had nothing but positive things to say about him.

“We talk about opportunities this whole year, and you know somebody, that receiving room, and I get the nature of the receivers in this league,” Vrabel said about Diggs postgame on Sunday. “I understand. I’ve been around this league for a while, and they all want the ball. That’s what they are supposed to do.

“When they don’t get it, they have to understand that they will get it. He took advantage of his opportunities, came through with contested catches, third-down conversions. It was great to see.”

Diggs has recorded 76 receptions for 869 yards and three touchdowns this season, as he’s well on track to once again have a 1000+ receiving yard season.

Along with Diggs, Vrabel was pleased with the play of the other Patriots receivers like Kayshoun Boutte, Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins.

“Mack made plays for us, Kyle, Kayshon,” Vrabel added. “Unfortunate for Kayshon [Boutte], the penalty or whatever they called over there is completely whatever they called it over there.

“Then his ability to go down, which I thought he was competing for that ball, and I thought we were going to have that one. But Kayshon is going (to) help us out. All the receivers are going to play roles.”

With the win, the Patriots improved to 28-24 and are now 12-3. New England has clinched a playoff spot but is looking to win the AFC East.
