Stefon Diggs has gotten off to a fast start in his NFL career, catching 13 passes for 216 yards in his first two NFL games. That led his teammate, wide receiver Mike Wallace, to compare Diggs to one of the best receivers in the NFL -- Antonio Brown.
Head coach Mike Zimmer and offensive coordinator Norv Turner were hesitant to anoint Diggs a starter during the week leading up to the Vikings' game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but after another big day, they won't be able to deny him anymore.
Check out Diggs' fifth catch of the afternoon, a 36-yard touchdown snag.
.@stefon_diggs turns "overthrown pass" into "Catch of the Year Contender". So so so soooooo sick. #MINvsDET https://t.co/7L9TZ9SpHR

Yeah. Diggs is pretty much horizontal on that one, leaping with full extension to haul in that Teddy Bridgewater pass. Diggs has 5 catches for 92 yards and this score midway through the third quarter. He looks a whole lot like Minnesota's best receiver.
