Stefon Diggs threw his college ball in Maryland, essentially on the same street where the Ravens play in Baltimore.
Now one of the league’s best recipients, Diggs was passed over by several teams until the Vikings selected him as No. 146 overall in the fifth round of the 2015 draft.
“We just lost it. We could have called him up to that point and we didn’t, ”said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “I don’t remember the exact details, but that is one who ran away. “
The Ravens are far from the only team likely to feel this way about Diggs, who took 150 passes for 2,227 yards with 14 touchdowns in his three years in Maryland. But Baltimore is the only one who must defend himself against him in this weekend’s postseason clash with Bills.
“All the respect in the world for him as a player. He’s definitely a factor, ”said Harbaugh. “I don’t mean ‘public enemy’, but he Enemy # 1 of the Ravens right now. He’s a guy we have to keep an eye on. “
Diggs managed six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in last week’s victory over the Colts.
