Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs: There is no WR2 better than me - NFL.com
Free-agent NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs is publicly asserting his status as the league's top WR2. Despite his confidence, he remains unsigned as training camps approach.
Why it matters
The article highlights the precarious nature of veteran player value in the NFL and the ongoing roster adjustments for teams.
Stefon Diggs doesn’t currently have a job but isn’t lacking for confidence.
Ahead of training camps opening later this month, the free-agent receiver said last week on his YouTube channel that he believes he’s the top WR2 in the NFL.
"My opinion, I can compete with anybody," Diggs said. "But take those [top wide receivers] as your 1s, right? You can't name a No. 2 better than me."
On the plus side, the 32-year-old isn’t insisting he’s an All-Pro WR1 at this stage of his career. He is underestimating some of the better No. 2s, like Tee Higgins, George Pickens, Davante Adams, Jameson Williams, etc.
