Summary

Trevon Diggs was selected in Round 2 (#51 Overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama. A former wide receiver who transitioned to cornerback, Diggs brought rare ball skills to the position and quickly developed into one of the NFL’s most dangerous turnover threats. At Alabama, the brother of Stefon Diggs recorded 6 interceptions and 14 passes defended in Nick Saban’s defense. In the NFL through the 2024 season, he has totaled 20+ career interceptions, highlighted by a historic 2021 season with 11 interceptions, earning First-Team All-Pro honors, a Pro Bowl selection, and establishing himself as a premier ball-hawking corner. His career has also included periods impacted by injury, but he remains known for his game-changing instincts and confidence. Off the field, Diggs is generally regarded as a high-confidence competitor with an aggressive play style reflects a risk-reward profile that requires system fit and coaching clarity. Diggs was released by the Cowboys in December 2025 due to a disobeying team orders and refusing to fly home with the team after a game in Washington, so his attitude may be something worth monitoring.

Strengths

• Elite Ball Skills: Former WR instincts show up consistently as he consistently attacks the football and strains through the catch point. Can make up ground when beaten initially and bait elite QBs into making throws they think are open.

• Turnover Production: One of the league’s most dangerous interception threats. Jumps routes effectively when he identifies concepts.

• Length & Red Zone Lock Down: Long frame helps win contested throws. Size and ball skills translate well near the goal line.

• Confidence in Man Coverage: Willing to challenge receivers and play on an island. Plays with swagger and is not afraid of big-matchup assignments.

Weaknesses

• Boom-or-Bust Style: Aggressive instincts can lead to surrendered explosive plays. Shows a proclivity to bite on double moves and lose leverage if eyes are wrong.

• Tackling Consistency: Willing tackler due to his long frame but inconsistent finisher in space. Needs clear coaching structure to balance aggression and responsibility.

• Zone Precision: Best when allowed to play aggressively rather than purely “safe” zone. Physical play with his back to ball can lead to flags if technique slips.

• Fluke Injuries & Attitude: Recent injury history requires monitoring. Reportedly suffered a concussion from a home accident surrounding Diggs mounting a television that landed him on injured reserve with a concussion for several weeks.

Outlook

From a Green Bay Packers perspective, Trevon Diggs will best fit as a boundary CB1 in a Jeff Hafley defense willing to embrace aggressive, turnover-driven coverage. His ball skills and confidence would pair well with a scheme that mixes man coverage with pattern-match concepts, allowing him to read routes and attack throws rather than simply playing conservative zone. He will help elevate the Packers defense defense by creating takeaways and forcing quarterbacks to hesitate, but his usage would need protection through safety leverage and game-plan discipline, particularly against teams that emphasize shot plays and double moves. Looking ahead, Diggs still projects as a high-impact starting corner with All-Pro caliber upside when healthy and focused on the game. His value is defined by turnovers and disruptive plays, not necessarily low target volume or “lockdown” consistency.
