"When the Dallas Cowboys selected Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs in the middle of the second round, it felt like they had gotten an absolute steal. Those following the team's draft buzz closely might remember that Diggs' name surfaced as a possible option in the first round, which didn't please the likes of too many. That seemed a little too early, but fortunately, that wasn't an issue because CeeDee Lamb fell to Dallas on Day 1."
"A uniform number switch from 27 to 7 was almost like changing into the superhero "Ball Hawkman," as the player we witnessed was nothing short of spectacular. The Cowboys were winning games, starting the season 6-1, which in itself was exciting, but Diggs brought about additional excitement by intercepting a pass in each of the first six games of the season. Every new game, we wondered, would he get another one? And through the first six games, the answer was yes."
The Dallas Cowboys selected Trevon Diggs in the middle of the second round, adding a talented Alabama cornerback to replace Byron Jones. Diggs stepped in as a Day 1 starter his rookie year, playing all defensive snaps in his first three games. He fractured his foot in Week 9, went on injured reserve, then returned to play the final three games. Despite missing four games, Diggs led the team with 14 passes defended. In his second season Diggs changed his jersey number from 27 to 7 and recorded an interception in each of the first six games as the Cowboys started 6-1.
