NEW England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs has spoken for the first time on his viral boat video.
Diggs, 31, was seen partying on a boat with girls in a clip that was widely shared on social media.

There was also a suspicious bag containing a pink substance in his hand.
Diggs spoke about the clip for the first time at Patriots camp on Tuesday.
He refused to give any details on what the pink substance was.
And the receiver neither confirmed or denied claims that they were drugs.
“I want to be as candid with you as possible,” Diggs said.
“But I kind of have a thing where I don’t talk about my personal life with people I don’t know personally.
“I had a conversation with (coach Mike) Vrabel obviously and I’ll echo everything he said – hoping everybody is making good decisions.
“And I had a conversation with people in the building as well.
“So everything else is everything else. The particulars are all internal.”
Diggs was asked repeatedly about the clip on the boat and the pink substance.
“Obviously it’s a conversation that’s happening internal,” he replied.
“I can’t have too much of a conversation about it.
“I’ve been in this league 10 years.
“You can format your question many different ways, I’m obviously going to answer it the same way.”
Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million deal with the New England Patriots.

The 31-year-old was a member of the Houston Texans at the time.
Patriots coach Vrabel sent him a clear message after seeing the video.
Vrabel said, “It’s something we’re aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field.
“The message will be the same for all our players, that we’re trying to make great decisions.
“Any conversations that I’ve had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.”
