The New England Patriots voluntary offseason program is officially underway, and Stefon Diggs is in attendance as he continues rehabbing from his torn ACL.
And with that, the Patriots also gave insight into what number Diggs will be wearing this season. New England posted a photo on Tuesday of Diggs in the No. 8.
He then confirmed it on his Instagram story.
On another slide, he posted his reasoning for picking this number.
“In Bible numerology eight means a new beginning; it denotes ‘a new order or creation, and man’s true “born again” event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life,” the post read.
Linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley previously wore No. 8, but he was released recently opening up that number for Diggs.
With the Buffalo Bills, Diggs wore the No. 14, but that is currently being worn by new linebacker Robert Spillane. In Houston, he wore No. 1, but that belongs to second-year receiver Ja’Lynn Polk who recently said on Instagram Live that he has no intention of switching.
