Just days after the New England Patriots signed Stefon Diggs in free agency, the All-Pro receiver met with members of the local media at Gillette Stadium, eventually landing on the topic of his knee injury.

The Patriots reportedly have a new No. 1 wide receiver in Stefon Diggs. Here are five things to know about him.

FOXBOROUGH — Stefon Diggs sounded an optimistic tone Friday, saying he’s “ahead of schedule” in his rehab from a torn ACL last season with the Texans. The 31-year-old receiver, who signed a three-year deal with the Patriots this week, said Friday at Gillette Stadium he anticipates being ready to play “when the whistle blows.”
