FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs deflected questions about his viral boat video that led coach Mike Vrabel to stress the importance of good decision-making, saying it was personal and handled internally.

«I want to be as candid with you as possible, but I kind of have a thing where I don't talk about my personal life with people I don't know personally,» Diggs said Tuesday at mandatory minicamp, in his first public remarks since the video surfaced. «I had a conversation with [Mike] Vrabel, obviously, and I'm going to echo everything that he said. He told me he's 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."

In the video, Diggs was surrounded by three women and flashed a clear bag that included what appeared to be an unidentified pink substance. Diggs declined to comment when asked to clarify what was in the bag.

Diggs wouldn't reveal if he knew the video on the boat was being recorded or if he regrets it happened.
