Vikings rookie receiver Stefon Diggs: 'He's a baller, man'

Vikings receiver Mike Wallace has had two 1,000-yard seasons, made a Pro Bowl and starred in a Super Bowl, and Stefon Diggs has played all of one NFL game.

Nevertheless, Wallace already sees something special in the future for the Minnesota rookie wide receiver.

"He could be better than me," said Wallace, a seven-year veteran. "He's young. When I came in (with Pittsburgh in 2009), I was playing well as a young guy, but I had one assignment: Beat them deep. Diggs is already running the full route treatment from Day 1."

After being inactive for the Vikings' first three games, Diggs appeared in his first regular-season game in Sunday's 23-20 loss at Denver.
