FOXBOROUGH - Stefon Diggs knows there’s a line players shouldn’t cross with teammates.

But the Patriots veteran receiver isn’t afraid to call a spade a spade. He’s not afraid to tell a teammate what he needs to hear, as opposed to what he wants to hear.

During his session with the media Tuesday, Diggs said he is always willing to “dance on the line a little bit” if it’s needed to help a player.

On Sunday in Tampa Bay, it was rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson who got an earful.

“I just want more out of him each and every play,” Diggs said. “He got tripped up a couple times earlier in the season. He got tripped up in the game. I think he might have had 200 yards.”

So Diggs challenged Henderson, who wound up having himself a day with 14 rushes for 147 yards with two touchdowns.
