New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is back in the spotlight after a video surfaced showing him dancing energetically at his sister’s wedding. The clip quickly went viral, sparking renewed jokes and criticism linked to the recent “pink powder” controversy that has stirred debate around the star player’s professionalism and image.
Viral dance video sparks new social media reactions
On social media, fans made sarcastic comments referencing the infamous yacht video from Memorial Day weekend, where Diggs was seen passing a small pink bag to guests. Though the contents remain unconfirmed, speculation and concern swirled over what the substance might have been.
“C***ine is a hell of a drug,” one user joked, while another added, “Cause that pink powder he be messing with.”
Analyst questions Stefon Diggs’ fit in Patriots culture
ESPN analyst Chris Canty weighed in on the larger implications for the Patriots franchise. “For a franchise that's trying to turn the page on the Bill Belichick era and rolling into this season with a second-year quarterback, having this tension where you have to question whether your star wide receiver reflects the values of the franchise and the program that new coach Mike Vrabel is trying to build just doesn't make any sense,” Canty said.
Fans divided over Diggs’ off-field behavior and recovery
Adding fuel to the fire, some fans expressed concern about Diggs dancing while still recovering from a serious ACL injury sustained last season.
“I swear if this mf blows out his knee again at a WEDDING,” one comment read.
Yet others defended Diggs, pointing out his dedication to rehab and his commitment to balancing family and football. “He just having fun, let him dance and enjoy his family, because he been training and going hard to get back. Love he still about his business & the sport, but took time to be there for his family & youth camp day! Awesome job.”
Diggs’ future with Patriots hangs in the balance
Despite the off-field distractions, Diggs has returned to Patriots offseason activities, participating in organized team activities (OTAs) and team meetings. Head coach Mike Vrabel and the Patriots organization have remained tight-lipped publicly but are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. As the Patriots look to rebuild their identity post-Belichick, maintaining a disciplined team culture is a priority. Diggs’ ability to stay focused and align with that vision will be critical to his future with the franchise and their hopes for a successful 2025 season.
