Stefon Diggs Claims He’s N.F.L.’s No. 2 Receiver

Diggs’ YouTube Statement and Market Position

After being released by New England in March, Diggs, 32, posted a video on his YouTube channel where he declared there is no No.2 wide receiver in the league better than him. He argued that even if teams prioritize their top receiving options, his résumé still stacks up against the next group. ESPN reported the remarks as he discussed where he fits in the current receiver market.

Statistical Showcase from the Patriots

During the 2025 regular season, Diggs led New England with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. He added another 14 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown during the Patriots’ Super Bowl run. The NFL also closed its personal‑conduct review, determining there was insufficient evidence of a policy violation.

Ravens’ Current Wide Receiver Outlook

Baltimore already has Zay Flowers slotted as Lamar Jackson’s primary target, while Rashod Bateman remains the projected No.2 option. Training camp will feature a mix of young players—Devontez Walker, LaJohntay Wester, Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt—all vying for roles behind Flowers. The Ravens’ passing game depth becomes crucial when defenses collapse on their star receiver.

Why Diggs’ Claim Resonates in Baltimore

Championship‑level offenses need a reliable option beyond the No.1 to stay balanced when coverage focuses on the primary target. Diggs’ assertion that he is the best No.2 receiver forces Baltimore’s receiving room to measure up to that standard. Even though the Ravens are not obligated to sign Diggs, his benchmark raises the bar for Bateman and the younger talent.

Looking Ahead to Training Camp

Diggs remains unsigned, but his bold stance has already generated buzz across the NFL. Ravens fans and analysts will watch whether Bateman, Walker and the others can meet the high standard set by Diggs’ declaration. The camp will serve as the first real test of whether Baltimore’s receiving unit can produce a legitimate No.2 capable of supporting a playoff‑run offense.
