Stefon Diggs Makes Jersey Number Change as He Joins Houston Texans in NFL Trade

Stefon Diggs, a prominent wide receiver, embarked on his career in the NFL after being selected in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. At the outset, regulations prohibited wide receivers from sporting single-digit jersey numbers. Undeterred, Diggs chose to don the No. 14 jersey during his nine-year tenure with the Minnesota Vikings (2015-2019) and later with the Buffalo Bills (2020-2024).

A New Chapter with the Houston Texans

Having recently been traded to the Houston Texans, Diggs made a significant change by reverting to his college days' jersey number, No. 1. This decision was publicly demonstrated through a post on Instagram by the Texans.

As Diggs enters a contract year with his new team, the deliberate steps taken to acquire his favored jersey number reflect his commitment to settling in comfortably with the Houston Texans.
