When Minnesota Vikings fans think about Stefon Diggs, surely the first thing that comes to mind is, “professional”. The way he uses social media to passive-aggressively announce that he is unhappy, the way he skips practice and acts shady when he doesn’t get his way. Professional.
Those temper tantrums on the sideline, and constant beefing with those around him, on two different teams, now. Pretty much everything Stefon Diggs does exudes professionalism. Which is why nobody will be surprised to see how self-aware the 30-year-old proved to be (yet again), in a recent GQ interview.
Stefon Diggs is too much of a pro to pillow talk about the Minnesota Vikings
Unlike his former head coach, Mike Zimmer, Stefon Diggs would never air out all his dirty laundry with the Minnesota Vikings. There’s absolutely no chance a friendly reporter would drop in on his training camp and get Diggsy to pull long-dead skeletons out of his purple closet, right?
That’s what he claimed, in a recent interview with GQ Magazine, where the former Viking/Bill made clear he is way too much of a professional to talk about old girlfriends with new girlfriends. Wait… what?
“If I feel targeted or I feel somebody’s saying something that’s wrong, can I say something? Yes. Will I say something? No. For what? I don’t gain nothing from it. None of these people sign any check of mine.”
“There’s some things that happened in Minnesota that I never shared, that I won’t share. Because I’m a professional. I believe in professionalism. You don’t gotta talk bad about your ex-girlfriend to your new girlfriend.”

Just Diggs being Diggs…
Look, Stefon Diggs was a really good Minnesota Vikings player. The Minneapolis Miracle is an event that will be tattooed into our brains until the day they don’t function anymore. He racked up 4,623 yards in purple, good for 10th most in franchise history. Diggs’ 30 touchdowns as a Viking are tied for 9th all-time, with Justin Jefferson.
But there’s no doubt our 2nd favorite No. 14 of all time (behind Brad Johnson, of course) has some of the same self-evaluation issues as his former head coach in with the Vikings. He just expresses it in a much different (passive-aggressive) fashion. Much more Minnesota-like.
Seriously, though. Leave it to Stefon Diggs to turn professionalism into pillow talking between girlfriends.
