American · Birmingham, USA · Born 20 September 1998Trevon Diggs is a Dallas Cowboys cornerback who set a franchise record and led the NFL with 11 interceptions in the 2021 season.
Trevon De'Sean Diggs was born on 20 September 1998 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the younger brother of NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and starred at Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville before playing college football at Alabama, helping the Crimson Tide win the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship. The Dallas Cowboys selected Diggs in the second round, 51st overall, of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he developed rapidly into one of the league's most opportunistic cornerbacks, leading the NFL in interceptions with 11 during his breakout 2021 season, which earned him first-team All-Pro honours. Diggs earned Pro Bowl selections in both 2021 and 2022, and overcame a torn ACL suffered in practice to return to the Cowboys' starting lineup, continuing his career after being claimed off waivers by the Green Bay Packers. Diggs and his brother Stefon have built a close relationship centred on their shared football careers, with Stefon helping mentor Trevon during his time at Alabama, continuing a family football legacy that has produced two accomplished NFL players from the same Maryland household.
