Stefon Diggs still might be lurking slightly under the national radar, but at least one analyst believes he's nearly in the top-fifth percentile of NFL players already.

Diggs was ranked by NFL.com analyst Ike Taylor as the 94th-best player in the league for next season this week, in a series of rankings produced by the network. Diggs, who landed two spots ahead of Vikings quarterback Tedd Bridgewater on Taylor's list, didn't earn a spot in the 91-to-100 range on NFL.com's main list, which is released in installments and voted on by the league's players. While it might be unlikely he'll make the list, just being considered is an accomplishment for a player who was drafted in the fifth round a year ago and was inactive for the first three games.

Diggs, who led the Vikings last season in receptions with 52 and receiving yards with 720 -- second-highest among rookies behind Oakland's Amari Cooper -- will enter this season as the face of the Vikings' receiving core. And he should benefit from the addition of first-round pick LaQuon Treadwell from Ole Miss -- like Diggs, a former five-star recruit. The Vikings also made an unusual move by drafting German wide receiver Moritz Boehringer in the sixth round, although he appears to be a long-term project.

Earlier this spring, Bleacher Report ranked Diggs the 28th-best receiver in the NFL based on advanced stats from last season, giving him 38 out of 40 points in hands, 30 out of 40 in route running and 10 out of 10 in yards after catch.
