The 4 time Pro Bowl receiver is a Maryland native. He was born in Gaithersburg and played college football at the University of Maryland. The signing brings him back to the Washington area.
Stefon Diggs will join an offense led by quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Commanders have sought additional proven talent at the wide receiver position. Diggs is expected to compete for a prominent role opposite McLaurin.

Diggs is expected to report to the team as training camp continues. He will participate in practices and preseason preparation with the rest of the receiving group, which also includes players such as Treylon Burks and Luke McCaffrey.
