"It's amazing to think about how exciting it was to watch Trevon Diggs pick off 11 passes during his second year in the league back in 2021. The guy was such an incredible ball-hawking corner who had a football magnet for hands. Sure, he had a little gamble in him, and sometimes that left him exposed, but more times than not, his decisions worked out favorably as he racked up the interceptions. With each additional pick, the excitement grew. It was fun to watch."
"That is why it's so baffling to see things transpire as they have. Diggs had a good third season, earning Pro Bowl honors, but then tore his ACL in practice early in his fourth season, less than two months after signing a five-year, $97 million extension. He returned in 2024, but he just didn't look like the same player. He started the first 10 games before suffering a groin injury that caused him to miss two games."
Expectations at Dallas' cornerback group initially included two healthy All-Pro corners and a promising rookie addition. The situation deteriorated rapidly; every element turned poorly within a season. Trevon Diggs produced 11 interceptions in 2021 and earned Pro Bowl honors in his third season, but tore his ACL in practice early in his fourth season shortly after signing a five-year, $97 million extension. Diggs returned in 2024 but showed diminished performance, missed games with a groin injury, and later underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee. Offseason friction emerged when Diggs was fined for not meeting the team's offseason program and for rehabbing outside the team facility.
