- [speaking in foreign language]
- [Interviewer] You got good.
- [laughs] Yeah, I'm working on it,
hold on, let me make sure my [rolls tongue]
- [Interviewer] Oh, oh! [laughing]
[tongue rolling] Oh! [laughing]
[upbeat music]
- What's up GQ,
it's Stefon Diggs here and these are my essentials.
[upbeat music]
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
So right here we have [package crinkling]
my Starbursts, I'm an all pink Starburst guy.
Got to have all pink Starbursts.
I don't want any confusion on the level of importance.
You know, I'm kind of picky so the all pink ones
it's a must.
This is, this is breakfast of a champion.
Before the game I'm not a huge pre-game meal guy.
I like to eat a little bit, but I'm a huge candy guy.
I think I get like a little sugar rush,
kind of equated to like Marshawn eating Skittles.
I'm a Starburst guy.
I'm not a big sharer, obviously,
as big as the bag is, they're still mine, all mine. [laughs]
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
Right here, this is my, my toiletry bag.
This is actually a fresh one. I have a couple of them
but this is one of my favorite colors as well.
So what we have in here is probably, you know,
the main, main, main stuff along with the other things.
But I got to have my toiletry bag.
I kind of feel organized and I feel in the sense
if I have my things together when I have my toiletry bag
so when I don't, it's going to be a rough day for me.
I think a lot of guys have this,
not only because it's like it's handy
and it's easy to handle.
Like as far as like going in and out the game,
like you want to put your main stuff in there,
brushing your teeth.
I don't know if everybody that,
what they do before the game,
but for me, I like to brush my teeth,
I take a shower,
I usually put a lot of things in my toiletry bag
and plus it's kind of like a little like
it's not your run-of-the mill toiletry bag.
So it's kind of cool too.
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
Next we have my floss. [packaging crinkles]
It's very essential to me because as you can see
I'm real serious about
[bell dings]
these.
[package crinkling]
I use them during the game, before the game, after the game,
I have to have 'em just
because I eat a lot of random things,
oranges during the game, candy before the game.
So I got to make sure there's nothing in my teeth.
They actually have a video of me in 2020,
I was flossing during the game
because they didn't have any of these.
So we made it a rule after that game to always
make sure these are on the sidelines
so they're obviously essential.
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
Don't judge me.
But Tums is one of my essentials.
I am not an old man, I promise,
I just have a very, very, very weak stomach.
As you can see, I eat candy before the game
and things like that.
So I got to keep the Tums on deck,
as my, ask my assistant Neff,
I tell her that with all my stuff
please pack my Tums because we never know when
the big kid will have a stomachache.
So I got to keep my Tums.
I'm a little bit of a kid,
like I don't want the hard Tums [chuckles]
'cause they're like hard to chew
and you know, I like candy so
I was like make sure we get the chewy Tums,
not the ones that my grandmother probably used, yeah.
I love these. [pill box thudding]
Keep these on there.
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
One of my favorites.
This is actually a fresh bottle so
if I catch anybody using it, it's going to be an issue.
But I got to have some,
some type of fragrance, especially cologne.
I usually, sometimes I actually use women's
because it smells better
and sometimes with your body chemistry,
it's a little better so got to have this.
Yeah, if I could describe the smell,
I'd say it was a little bit more airy
and it's not delicioso,
I think,
I think it's [laughs] scrumptious. [laughs]
I would describe it as it's light on the nose.
It's not going to be overbearing.
I don't like to be overbearing.
Like when you walk in a room and somebody says,
"Damn, what is that smell?"
I just want 'em to be like, "Damn, that smells nice.
Well I wonder what that is."
I've been trying to smell good for a very long time.
I would say like my mom kind of taught me that growing up.
A couple things that you should have is like nice shoes,
nice smile and you should smell nice.
So I kind of took that from my mom, shout out to my mom.
I used to dip in my dad's like smell goods
and kind of like spray a couple times and run off.
But it kind of started there.
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
Here we go, I barely caught it
but right here we have my sponge.
Shout out my barber, Mo.
He takes good care of me, makes sure I look presentable
especially on game days, taking care of me, it's my sponge.
It kind of give me a little bit of a curl pattern, you know,
kind of try to stay sharp.
It kind of messes up when I put my helmet on
but I wish Mo was there on the sideline
to have my sponge and my comb,
but he's not so this is definitely essential.
Pre-game, post-game, got to have it.
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
One of my essentials as well
is the Touchland mist here, hand sanitizer.
It's also hydrating so keeps your hands clean
and keeps them moisturized.
During the pandemic
and that time was just real pivotal as far
as like keeping yourself clean.
And I like to practice cleanliness next to godliness.
So I like to, you know, make sure my hands are clean.
I meet a lot of people, I shake a lot of hands,
and in that process I like to try to stay clean.
So this is one of my main essentials.
Football players aren't presumed to be the most clean people
especially 'cause we roll around in the dirt
like diving the grass that kind of stuff.
So I like to try to stay as clean as possible, regardless,
you know what I'm saying?
[logo dings] [upbeat music]
Here we have my King C. Gillette trimmer.
I now, you know, currently have a mustache.
But I would like to say goatee-in-training
but it's a mustache currently.
So we're working on it.
I keep things sharp and this is how we do it.
I've been using this King C. Gillette trimmer
since I've had this full goatee-in-training.
It's been a good process for me.
Keeps me sharp.
I like to use it before game day so I can go out there
with the right mindset and play it clean.
[upbeat music] [logo dings]
Got to have my beats.
Definitely a product that's pre-game, post-game.
Shit, if I could have it during the game, I would,
just to keep me, keep me in the right space.
As far as like with the music that I'm playing, I'm,
I think it's a direct correlation to your mood
and for me I like to go real slow jams,
old school music before,
old school music before the game just
to kind of keep me mellow.
And then like when I get between the lines
I'll turn it up a little bit so got to have my Beats.
And plus, I think headphones are a key necessity to life
because if you ever don't want to talk to anybody
just put your headphones in
and people usually do the implied thing of like,
and you can just be like "I can't hear you."
So got to have them.
[upbeat music]
[speaking in foreign language]
I got to use my phone as one of my essentials
because I have a couple things on my phone
and as you can see as good as I am at Spanish,
I have duolingo on my phone,
I have the Bible app on my phone.
And then I have one of my favorite,
one of my new books that I'm reading
"Unlocking The Power of You."
So I have some of the main things
that kind of get me through my day,
especially the duolingo.
I'm 146, going on 47,
a 147 days streak consistency at its best.
So I would suggest everybody get involved with it
try to learn another language, it's fun
and it kind of keeps you somewhat accountable so
and then the Bible app obviously 'cause I'm a man of God
and I like to keep that relationship flowing,
know what I'm saying, all good things come to those
who have patience and you know believe in the Man above.
And then the last thing was the book,
"Unlocking the Power of You."
Teaching me a lot as far
as like speaking things into existence,
practicing that good affirmations
and you know keeping that good energy so. [claps]
GQ, thanks for having me.
Hope you learned a lot about me through my essentials.
