Stefon Diggs, recently traded to the New England Patriots, is under scrutiny following a viral video showing him partying on a yacht. In the video, which quickly circulated on social media, Diggs is seen with several women and holding a bag that appears to contain a pink substance. The footage has raised concerns among fans, the media, and even the Patriots’ management about his off-field behavior and commitment to the team.
Patriots Respond to the Situation
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the media about the incident, acknowledging that the team is aware of the video. He stated, “We’re aware of what’s circulating. These are private matters and will be dealt with internally.” Although Vrabel did not confirm whether Diggs would face any consequences, his absence from recent team activities has fueled speculation.
The team had high hopes for Diggs following their disappointing 4-13 season last year, and this controversy is an unexpected setback for their efforts to rebuild.
What Was Seen in the Video?
The video shows Stefon Diggs on a luxury yacht surrounded by women and holding a small bag containing a pink powder. No official information has been released about what the substance is. While some online speculations suggest it could be a party drug, there has been no confirmation from Diggs, his representatives, or the team.
Cardi B Connection Adds to the Buzz
Adding to the drama is the appearance of rapper Cardi B, who was reportedly also on the yacht. The two have been seen together at multiple events, including the Met Gala and an NBA playoff game. Though there’s no official confirmation of a relationship, their public outings have attracted media attention, and this latest video has only added fuel to the rumors.
How This Affects the Patriots
Diggs was expected to play a crucial role in the Patriots’ offense this season, especially as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in 2024. His absence from team OTAs (Organized Team Activities) following the video leak has raised concerns about his focus and discipline. With rookie quarterback Drake Maye stepping into the spotlight, the Patriots need their key players fully committed—something this incident has put into question.
NFL’s Stance on the Matter
As of now, the NFL has not issued an official statement on the video. However, the league has a strict conduct policy and often investigates off-field behavior that could reflect poorly on the sport. Whether the video leads to disciplinary action remains to be seen.
