Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a productive season for a fifth-round rookie, but he aims to take his game to another level next season.

In an interview after the season, Diggs played down his accomplishments in 2015 and hyped his potential for the future.

I feel like I had an OK year. Next year, I'm just going to have to do it again, prove myself again, again and again. ... I feel like I had an OK year, and I just scratched the surface. I can do a lot better.

Diggs finished with 52 catches for 720 yards and four touchdowns; he had four more grabs for 26 yards in Minnesota's 10-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The 22-year-old receiver was never the focal point of the offense, but his efforts in the passing game complemented running back Adrian Peterson well and made the Vikings a more versatile team.

Diggs plans to work out with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in South Florida this offseason, according to the Pioneer Press. These two could develop a dangerous connection, if they stay healthy, in shape and on the same page until training camp opens next July.
