Originally a fifth round pick out of Maryland in 2015, Diggs has played five years for the Vikings, tallying 365 catches for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns. His 4,623 yards rank 14th in the NFL over that time period. Diggs caught 63 passes for 1,130 yards last season, averaging 17.9 yards a reception, fourth-most in the NFL.

Diggs signed a five-year contract extension with the Vikings prior to the 2018 season worth $72 million. He has four years remaining on his deal and, according to Spotrac, will count $11.5 milion on the team's 2020 salary cap.
