BC-FBN-VIKINGS-DIGGS:MS — sports (650 words)
In a recent piece for the website The Ringer, Vikings general manager Rick Spielman expressed his anticipation of all the player tracking data the NFL is making available to teams. One marker he is specifically looking forward to tracking is which players get slower as seasons gets longer.
Spielman might want to take a close look at the data for one of his players whose speed is his primary weapon — receiver Stefon Diggs.
Diggs had 849 yards and eight touchdowns last season and earned himself a five-year, $72 million extension thanks to his speed.
