"DWBI (Don't Worry Bout It)"

DWBI stands for Don’t Worry ’Bout It, which is an attitude that has helped the new Patriots pass catcher excel in the league over the years. Diggs has been on three teams since entering the NFL and has showcased his Pro Bowl ability in many situations.

So, with Deebo Samuel dealing with criticism after leaving the San Francisco 49ers, it's no surprise to see him get words of encouragement from a fellow star wide receiver.

What's next for Stefon Diggs and Deebo Samuel?

Stefon Diggs is entering his 11th season in the NFL. He spent his first five with the Minnesota Vikings, the next four with the Buffalo Bills and the most recent campaign with the Houston Texans.

Diggs is coming off an ACL injury that truncated his lone season with the DeMeco Ryan-coached Houston Texans. With training camp around the corner, Diggs will look to prove that he still has what it takes to be a WR1 on a playoff-chasing franchise.

Deebo Samuel, meanwhile, spent the first six years of his professional football career with the San Francisco 49ers. The versatile wide receiver helped them to numerous deep postseason runs that culminated in two Super Bowl appearances during his stint in San Francisco.

Samuel will spend the upcoming season with the Washington Commanders as the one-time Pro Bowler looks to replicate his early success in San Francisco with his new team, possibly go all the way in the upcoming campaign.
