A Massachusetts jury has found NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs not guilty of assaulting his personal chef, stemming from a dispute last year over finances and their relationship.

The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, after less than two hours of deliberation, clearing the 32-year-old of felony strangulation, and misdemeanor assault and battery charges.
