New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs won't ask to take Ja’Lynn Polk’s number. Polk wears the No. 1 jersey, which is the same number that Diggs wore with the Houston Texans last season.

Diggs is looking to be a veteran presence in a Patriots receivers room that needs experience. Meanwhile, Polk is looking to bounce back after a tough rookie campaign. All told, the Washington product recorded 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

His 2024 campaign started strong with a season-opening touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he never found the consistency the Patriots hoped he'd show for the team as a rookie right out of the gates.
