Patriots WR Stefon Diggs responds to viral boat clip with evasive line: “I try to keep my personal life personal”

A few weeks ago, a video of Stefon Diggs on a boat, seemingly handing a pink bag to a group of women, went viral and raised plenty of questions. The Patriots wide receiver stayed silent—until now.

Diggs has finally spoken about the clip, but instead of clearing the air, his response has left fans with even more questions.

Stefon Diggs' Patriots debut clouded by viral boat video and unanswered questions

Stefon Diggs was expected to bring experience and production to a Patriots offense in need of both. Instead, he’s now the subject of a social media firestorm after a video surfaced showing him on a boat passing a suspicious bag to a group of women. The contents remain unclear, but the visual alone was enough to raise eyebrows.Meeting the media for the first time since the video went public, Diggs offered no apology, no denial, and no real explanation. “I try to keep my personal life personal,” he said, sidestepping direct questions. “I had a conversation with Vrabes [head coach Mike Vrabel]… The particulars is all internal.”

Diggs is entering his 11th NFL season, and he’s no stranger to navigating media narratives. But for a player signed to a $69 million contract, fans and media were hoping for more clarity or at least more accountability.

Vrabel stays quiet, but Patriots can't ignore timing of Diggs controversy

Head coach Mike Vrabel mirrored Diggs’ approach, confirming that the team is “aware” of the situation but that all discussions will stay behind closed doors. While that might satisfy team policy, it’s done little to quell speculation.This controversy arrives at a crucial time for the Patriots, who are trying to build a new identity post-Brady and post-Belichick. Diggs was supposed to help lead that transition. But now, his leadership is being questioned before he’s played a single down in Foxborough.Also Read: Aaron Rodgers confirms secret wedding amid Steelers debut but who is the mystery bride?Diggs’ on-field resume is impressive with over 10,000 receiving yards, 70 touchdowns, and four Pro Bowl selections but distractions like this are the kind that teams can’t afford during a rebuild. With minicamp wrapping up and training camp approaching, the pressure is mounting for Diggs to shift the conversation back to football.
