EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Sam Bradford immediately immersed himself in video study of his new team after the Minnesota Vikings made the emergency trade to acquire him the week before the regular season began.The starring role of this film, for Bradford, was adeptly played by Stefon Diggs.He just kind of popped, Bradford said. You just kind of notice him. Hes always getting separation. He seems to always be finding a way to get open.The live prf quickly followed.In Bradfords debut, a 17-14 victory over rival Green Bay last Sunday, Diggs had nine receptions for 182 yards . Diggs received the NFC offensive player of the week award for the performance. That included a slick third-quarter touchdown catch in which he ran to the inside of Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, veered outside as if he were going to run a corner route, then curled behind Randall to run back inside to complete the post pattern.He just throws a gd ball, Diggs said. I just try to make the plays I can for him.Through two games, Diggs leads the NFL with 285 yards receiving. Diggs has been targeted on 20 of Minnesotas 64 passes , and with 16 receptions he has the fourth-best catch percentage in the league among wide receivers whove been thrown to more than 12 times. Diggs became the third player in Vikings history with two 100-yard games to start a season, the first since Cris Carter in 1997.I definitely know hes got all the tls, said Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn, who often covers Diggs in practice. Great hands. Great route runner. I said when he first got here that he reminded me a little of Antonio Brown. When he was a rkie I said that. This guy, man, hes just been phenomenal for this team.Thats particularly true considering that Diggs became the first rkie in franchise history to lead the team in receptions (52) last year, with Teddy Bridgewater as the quarterback. Bradford arrived after Bridgewater went down with a massive injury to his left knee on Aug. 30, but Shaun Hill started the opener at Tennessee. Diggs thrived with him throwing the passes, t.If a puppy bites when hes young, when he gets to be big hes going to really bite you, wide receivers coach George Stewart said. He had some bite in him as a young puppy. You saw what he did when he came in last year and started to play. It wasnt a mistake he played well. He prepared himself to be a gd player in our league, and hes continuing to do that.The swift rise for Diggs is remarkable considering he fell to the fifth round of the 2015 draft coming out of college one year early. Hes on the smaller side at his position at 6-ft and 190 pounds, for one. The unstable quarterback situation at Maryland during his career there didnt help productivity, even though his 1,896 all-purpose yards as a freshman in 2012 was the second-highest total in program history.Then there was the broken leg and subsequent related leg muscle injuries that kept him out for almost half of his sophomore season. A lacerated kidney cost him three games as a junior.Hes a relentless worker, though, with ftwork as crisp and instinct as sharp as any of his peers around the league. His unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Packers notwithstanding -- a product in coach Mike Zimmers view of his desire to protect a teammate -- Diggs possesses a polish on the field and carries himself off of it in a way that transcends his age.Diggs was only 14 when his father died. Hes become a father-like figure to his younger brothers, especially Trevon Diggs, a freshman wide receiver at Alabama.Hes lking at me as far as like a role model. I want to be the first example, Diggs said. I want him to have to lk nowhere else, as far as like somebody that works hard or does what theyre supposed to do.The Vikings (2-0) will be relying on Diggs more than ever now, with Bridgewater, running back Adrian Peterson and left tackle Matt Kalil all likely out for the rest of the season with injuries.Ive just got to do what Ive got to do, and at the end of the day if that happens, Diggs said with a sly smile, Ill be all right.--Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAPArchie Bradley Diamondbacks Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.
