SUPER BOWL: Patriots’ Stefon Diggs has fueled Super Bowl run with his on-field fire….READ MORE
That is how Stefon Diggs will spend some of his final moments prior to kickoff of the first Super Bowl of his career.

It’s been a staple of the wide receiver’s routine before each game he’s played this season for the New England Patriots.
Following pregame warmups, he also calls his teammates in to huddle around him as he leads one of a series of impassioned, fiery and often viral speeches.
“I just say what I feel like I’m supposed to do and just go,” Diggs said. “It’s not so much the words, it’s more so the tenacity.”
Then, he turns the volume down for his prayer in the corner of the end zone. “Taking a second to kind of appreciate where I am and give my thanks to God and kind of have my little moment with him. Thanking him for the trials and tribulations,” Diggs said.
“Building my character up a little bit as a person and making these shoulders weight-bearing, I guess.”
Both are necessary for the player whom teammates call the emotional centerpiece of their Super Bowl run.
And for Diggs, it’s been fuel during a comeback season that didn’t seem likely after his tenure in Houston last season was cut short by a knee injury.
