Super Bowl LX: 6 Christians playing in the big game
3. Stefon Diggs
Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, whose NFL career dates back a decade and includes stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans, has been outspoken about his Christian faith over the years.
In 2018, as a star for the Vikings, Diggs credited divine intervention with helping him pull off what has been dubbed the “Minneapolis Miracle,” which enabled the team to come from behind to secure an extremely narrow victory in an NFC divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints.
“I ran the route, my QB gave me a great throw. God took care of the rest,” Diggs, who was a standout at the University of Maryland after graduating from Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic high school in Olney, Maryland, insisted in a postgame interview with ESPN.
“If you watch the play, a guy ran into another guy. I give all the glory to God. I give Him the praise on this praise Sunday.”
