D: Who's your favorite team to go against?

Stefon Diggs: Green Bay. It's always fun.

D's Follow Up: In my opinion Green Bay is the best BRO! Maybe the Vikings were better this year but next year the Packers will be better.

J: We saw you were just at Mall of America for Nickelodeon Universe's 10 year anniversary celebration. What's your favorite ride at MOA?

Stefon Diggs: Oh, I didn't get on any rides this time but I may do them next time. I don't ride too many roller coasters. I have been on one of the roller coasters. It was an orange one. (Pepsi Orange Streak?) It goes really high and goes straight down. You guys can go on it with me next time though. (Um, yes please!)

J's Follow Up: Rides and roller coasters are awesome. My favorite ride at Mall of America is Brain Surge. My all time favorite roller coasters are Raging Bull and Goliath at Great America and Maverick and Rougarou from Cedar Point. 


Dom: Who was your favorite NFL player growing up?

Stefon Diggs: That's an interesting question. Probably Michael Vick. He was pretty good.

Dom's Follow Up: I think Michael Vick was a very good QB because he was fast and had a powerful arm. My favorite player is a tie between Jordan Howard and Mitch Trubisky.

We were fortunate to meet Minnesota Vikings superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs at the Chicago Sports Spectacular in Rosemont on March 18th. As huge fans of the NFL and fans of other teams in the NFC (Bears and Packers), we are very familiar with Stefon Diggs and his Vikings teammates. We watched the Vikings all season long as they finished tied for the best record in the NFC in 2017 with 13 wins and 3 losses. The Vikings defense was the top ranked defense in the NFL and the Vikings boasted one of the best wide receiver tandems in the league with Stefon and Adam Thielen. It was a tremendous season for the Vikings and with the addition of Kirk Cousins at quarterback and defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, the Vikings are sure to be the NFC North favorites in 2018 and a popular pick to win the Super Bowl.

Stefon Diggs is a tremendous player on the field and we quickly found out he is just as great off of the field. He took his time answering the boys' questions and Stefon and the boys were all smiles during their time together. We saw on Twitter that Stefon was meeting with fans at the Mall of America for hours at the Nickelodeon Universe 10th Anniversary celebration the night before, so we are very thankful that he made it to Chicago on short notice to sign for his fans in the area. We were already big fans of his play on the field before we met him in person but we all left the Chicago Sports Spectacular even bigger fans of the superstar Minnesota Vikings wide receiver. We'll be cheering Stefon on when he's not playing our Bears or Danny's Packers...and we are planning a trip to the Mall of America this summer and we'll be riding everything at Nickelodeon Universe and we'll certainly take Stefon up on his offer to ride with him if he's in town!
