'A drug dealer': Stefon Diggs accused of handing out ‘pink cocaine' on boat party with women as NFL stays silent
Stefon Diggs faces scrutiny after a video surfaced (Image via AP) New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A recently surfaced video shows the star NFL player on a boat with a group of women, allegedly handing them a bag filled with pink crystals. The footage, which quickly spread across social media, has fueled intense speculation over the nature of the substance — with many users suspecting it to be 'pink cocaine,' though there is no confirmation of that claim. Stefon Diggs under fire as viral boat video ignites drug-related rumors In the viral video, Diggs is seen chatting casually with three women who reportedly referred to him as 'Daddy' before he passed around the bag of pink material. 'Yikes: NFL fans are speculating that Stefon Diggs handed these three girls what looks to be pink c*caine after he asked them to call him Daddy,' one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Others followed suit with similar reactions, suggesting Diggs was 'serving pink cocaine' and even labeling him 'a football player, pimp and a drug dealer. ' Despite the wave of viral commentary, there is currently no official evidence confirming that the substance was illicit. Still, the video has created a media storm, putting both Diggs and the Patriots in a difficult position during the offseason. Coach Mike Vrabel and the Patriots respond with discretion When asked about the situation, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the controversy during a media session ahead of an optional team practice, which Diggs did not attend. 'It's something that we're aware of. Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' Vrabel said. He added that his discussions with Diggs 'will remain between him I and the club.' The NFL has chosen not to comment on the situation at this time, with a league spokesperson telling the Associated Press there would be no statement regarding the video. Also Read: T.J.

Cardi B, who filed for divorce from rapper Offset last year, was reportedly also on the boat during the controversial outing. As the video continues to circulate online, all eyes are on the NFL and Diggs' camp for an official response.

One of the league's wealthiest wide receivers, Diggs has earned the lion's share of this fortune through his NFL contracts, now representing the Houston Texans.

With career earnings soaring past $137 million, Diggs' financial playbook is just as strategic as his route-running. It all began with a modest four-year, $2.5 million rookie deal with the Minnesota Vikings. A five-year, $72 million extension followed in 2018, rewarding his growing impact. The Buffalo Bills trade in 2020 marked a new chapter, culminating in a four-year, $96 million extension by 2022. In 2024, a short but lucrative one-year, $22.5 million stint with the Houston Texans was restructured.

He recently inked a significant endorsement deal with Jordan, adding to an impressive list that includes Adidas, Geico, Century Link, and Bridgestone Tires.

Born on November 29, 1993, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Diggs was raised alongside two younger brothers—Trevon and Darez—both of whom followed in his football footsteps. At Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, Diggs turned heads with an explosive junior season, posting 810 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns, cementing his status as a five-star recruit. C hoosing family over fame, Diggs stayed close to home for college, enrolling at the University of Maryland to help support his younger siblings. He made an instant impact, racking up 1,896 all-purpose yards as a freshman—just shy of the school record. Though injuries slowed him during his sophomore and junior years, he still compiled 2,227 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns before declaring for the 2015 NFL Draft. Selected in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings, Diggs quickly proved his worth. His breakout moment came in 2017 when he etched his name into NFL lore with the unforgettable 'Minneapolis Miracle'—a last-second 61-yard touchdown that lifted the Vikings over the Saints in the Divisional Round. As he once said, 'You've got to go out there and make plays when your number is called.' And he did—over and over again. His 2020 trade to the Buffalo Bills marked the start of a new chapter. That season, Diggs led the entire league with 127 catches and 1,535 receiving yards, earning All-Pro honors. He continued to shine in Buffalo, helping the team dominate the AFC East for four straight years. In April 2024, Diggs joined the Houston Texans. Although his debut season was cut short due to a torn ACL, he still managed to surpass 10,000 career receiving yards and scored his first rushing touchdown. Through triumphs and setbacks, Diggs' journey stands as a testament to perseverance, talent, and heart. Also Read: Is Stefon Diggs just Cardi B's plus-one?

New England Patriots head coach says team is aware of Stefon Diggs boat video
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said the team is aware of a video of wide receiver Stefon Diggs holding an unidentified pink substance in a bag on a boat was widely shared on social media. At a press conference, a reporter asked Vrabel if the team was looking into a 'certain substance, that people are guessing what is and isn't,' which was seen in the video, where Diggs – who signed with New England in late March and is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 last year with the Houston Texans – is seen speaking with three women. During the video, Diggs pulls out a bag containing a pink substance and hands it to one of the women. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Vrabel stressed the importance of making 'great decisions, on and off the field.' 'Well, it's something we're aware of and, obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' Vrabel told reporters. 'Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.' Diggs has yet to comment publicly on the matter, but posted a series of intense workout videos to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, where he can be seen performing a variety of stop-and-start drills while tethered to a post and route running exercises. CNN has reached out to Diggs for comment. Representatives for the NFL said the league declined to comment. Vrabel emphasized that Wednesday's voluntary organized team activity, which Diggs missed, was a 'voluntary part of our offseason program,' but conceded that most of the Patriots squad had made it. 'The timelines, and the prognosis (of his ACL recovery), we're working hard to get him back and be ready to go. When he's here, we'll coach him and have him ready to go,' the coach said. When asked if he had spoken to Diggs since the video had come to light, Vrabel said: 'I talk to our players every single day, the ones that are here and the ones that aren't.' Diggs has been one of the best receivers in the league for years and hit another level after joining the Buffalo Bills in 2020 and linking up with QB Josh Allen, who won last year's NFL MVP award. He was traded from the Bills to the Texans last year, before signing with the Patriots to the three-year max $69 million deal, according to several reports, including NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
