Woman randomly finds Stefon Diggs’ H.S. championship ring

In the simple act of taking her dog out for a walk, a Maryland woman somehow ended up with Stefon Diggs’ high school state championship ring. 

It’s as bizarre as it sounds. Pattie Engel doesn’t know Diggs. She was walking her dog, Tiger, near her home in Montgomery County, Md., when she spotted something shiny on the ground, according to WUSA. 

She bent down to check it out, realized it was a high school championship ring, and took it home. She didn’t even recognize the inscribed name.

When she showed it to her son-in-law, he gave her the news: the ring belonged to the Minnesota Vikings’ fifth-round draft pick. Diggs won it in 2010, when he led Good Counsel High School (Olney, Md.) to the state title. Considered the state’s top recruit at the time, and the nation’s second-best wide receiver, he went on to play college ball at the University of Maryland.

WUSA contacted Diggs, who confirmed it’s his ring. There’s no word on how it ended up on the side of the road, how long it’s been missing, or whether he even wants it back.
