Each day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.
Stefon Diggs
You don't want to have any negativity in your life. Continue to push. Continue to be patient. And when your time comes, then you've got to do everything you can, that's all.
Whether I'm playing right now or not, I still have an opportunity to get better in practice. It's like sharpening my blade.
I listen to the older people who talk to me. I call them my old heads, people with a lot of wisdom. They'll teach you a lot if you listen.
I'm a football fanatic. I love the game of football. I love learning new things, and I love being taught things. So I try to learn as much as I can, and even at a young age, I was really focused on how to be better and trying to learn all the techniques.
If you don't have any confidence, you're not going to do anything.
My time off is usually spent working out and getting better at football. When I come home and spend time with my little brother, we're out on the football field. We're working out or playing Madden. We're spending time with each other, but our quality time is football.
I can compete with anybody. I'm a true competitor. I'm a winner.
I love competing in everything that I do, and I try to express that, but I try not to rush it.
They say when you break your leg, you get a little taller and a little faster, and I got both, I think.
Just scratching the surface. It's just the beginning. I'm still young. I've got a lot of time to grow.
I take my craft seriously.
When you're playing football, and your enemies are there, you don't have a lot of time to think to yourself. You've got stuff to handle. You've got places to be, meetings to go to, bigger fish to fry. You really don't attack the emotional side of your life.
Being away from the game you love so much, it will mess with your mind.
Not having a father is big. You need guidance. I know, personally, when my father died, I needed guidance; I needed somebody to show me how to be a man, how to grow up, basically how to do the right thing.
I just try to make the plays when they throw them to me.
You haven't been on tape, nobody sees what you can do, nobody sees how you play, so they don't have anything to watch.
I kind of really study different angles of the film. You see how people's bodies are, how they react to certain kind of moves - what foot they step with, what hand they jab with, and all that. Just little things like that, that you pick up when you watch film. Studying is big for me.
That's what you want... you work hard, you want your guys to, you know, work the same way you work, and it all helps the team.
To me, it really doesn't matter where they line me up.
I can relate to a guy who stays home and does it for his family and friends.
Credit comes with success, and I need to have a lot more of it. In due time - I'm not rushing.
When you're not able to play ball anymore, you see who's really there for you. I would say that God works in mysterious ways, and He gets rid of your friends for you - the ones who were never really your real friends.
That's what great players do: continue to prove themselves.
I'm just going to do everything my coaches ask me.
I just want to contribute to my team and earn the trust and do everything they need from me.
I'm a dominant competitor.
At the end of the day, you have to do what's best for you, and I support any guy who stays home.
I know I'm not the biggest guy or the fastest guy, but you've got to bring something to the table that someone else is not. I love football too much.
Not saying I was a bad kid, but I had a lot to learn. You've just got to not be impulsive.
I have to go at a good pace because how you practice, that's how you play.
The thing about football is when you've got guys that work hard and do things the right way, it'll come together... it's supposed to if you put the work in.
The time you do get edgy and the time you do want to slack off is the time, boom, there goes your opportunity. So you don't want to have that.
I consider myself a leader. I am not a follower.
Everybody's got haters, but your city's always behind you. It's only right to give back.
At the end of the day, I don't care how many catches I have or how many yards I have. As long as the Ws keep stacking up in the win column, I'm happy.
As a player, I'm going to do everything I can to help the organization as a whole. On the field, off the field, I'm going to do everything in my power.
I just feel like it's my job to take care of my body. I play a contact sport, 99.9 percent injury rate. As far as being injury-prone or getting hurt, it's going to happen. But it's my job to take care of my body, come week in and week out.
As a young man, I feel as if it's all about progressing. I may have had to mature a little faster than others, but no worries. I took it on full steam and led by example off the field.
Press coverage is nothing different. I mean, you win off the line, you win. It's that simple.
I try to do anything I can to quicken things up.
As you get a lot of exposure, a lot of people looking at you, you have to take it more so how you carry yourself, how people view you. You have to worry about your image.
I picked up yoga. I tried to do cooking a little bit. I almost burned my house down, but it's all good. So I just stuck to yoga.
My little brothers can ask me any question in the world, and if I've got the answer, I'm going to give it to them.
It's an emotional time for you when you get injured. You're going through so much. You have a lot of time to think to yourself.
Quarterbacks like guys who try to do everything they can for them and put it on the line for them. So that's what I try to do.
You want to have that trust with your QB; you want to build that camaraderie throughout your team and just have that relationship with them, so when you're out there, he doesn't have anything to worry about. He tells you to run this route, you run it to the best of your ability and be there for him.
There are going to be games where you don't have the greatest conditions, so to show that you can do it in bad conditions is a plus.
I wanted to stay home and go to Maryland because I'm really the man of my house. We lost our father when I was 14. Somebody had to be there, so I had to take it and put that on my shoulders.
I just want to get better all around and contribute more.
