Stefon Diggs watches Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on May 12, 2025.

Just hours after being cleared in a high-profile Massachusetts criminal case, Stefon Diggs was already back in the gym.

According to video shared Tuesday night by music executive Steven Victor, the veteran wide receiver returned to training roughly six hours after a jury found him not guilty in his strangulation and assault and battery trial. The clip showed Diggs running on a treadmill, offering the first real glimpse into his mindset following the verdict.

Rather than making a lengthy public statement after the verdict, Diggs appeared to let the video speak for itself.

The verdict, delivered earlier Tuesday, cleared Diggs of all charges tied to the case in Massachusetts. Throughout the trial, Diggs maintained his innocence, and the jury ultimately sided with the defense after deliberating for approximately 90 minutes.

Diggs’ Focus Quickly Turns Back to Football

Diggs’ legal team did not waste time outlining what comes next.

Attorney Mitchell Schuster told reporters outside the courthouse that Diggs’ focus now shifts back to football, adding that any NFL team would be “lucky” to have him as he looks to resume his career.

The timing of Diggs’ return to the gym only reinforced that message.

For a player who spent the past several months navigating a highly public legal situation, the decision to immediately return to training sent a clear signal that his focus has already shifted toward the next chapter of his football career.

Even before the trial concluded, there was league-wide curiosity surrounding Diggs’ future and whether a team would be willing to take a chance on the veteran receiver once the legal process played out. Tuesday’s verdict removes a major layer of uncertainty, and Diggs’ immediate return to training suggested he intends to stay ready for whatever opportunity comes next.

Video Quickly Draws Attention Online

Diggs has not publicly addressed the verdict in detail, but the treadmill video quickly circulated online following the conclusion of the trial.

In an era where athletes often release lengthy statements or social media posts following major legal developments, Diggs instead kept the focus on football.

The veteran receiver remains one of the NFL’s most recognizable free agents, and Tuesday night’s workout video immediately sparked discussion across social media as fans reacted to how quickly he returned to training.

As of now, Diggs has not publicly announced his next move or commented further on his NFL future.

But less than a day after the verdict, the message from his camp appeared clear.

He’s already preparing for what comes next.
