Biography

2nd round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

PRO: The Dallas Cowboys bolstered their defensive backfield when they selected Trevon Diggs - one of the top cornerbacks and one of the best all-around athletes - in the second round (51st overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. Diggs, who started his collegiate career as a receiver at Alabama, made the switch to defense as a sophomore and continued to improve each season. As a rookie in Dallas, Diggs started 11 of the 12 games he played, missing four in the middle of the season with a broken foot. Diggs finished his rookie season becoming the first Cowboys rookie to lead the team in interceptions outright (three) since Terence Newman in 2003, the first rookie to lead the team in breakups (14) since Byron Jones in 2015 and the first to lead in both categories since 1984 when Dallas started tracking breakups. Diggs was also sixth on the defense with 57 tackles while adding one sack, one tackle for loss and a forced fumble. He will return in 2021 entrenched as one of Dallas' starting corners.
