Trevon Diggs is one of the most feared and impactful cornerbacks in the NFL. Since being drafted in 2020, the Cowboys three-year veteran leads the league in interceptions (tied with J.C. Jackson at 17). He’s been a walking highlight reel and arguably the most gifted ballhawk of his generation.
While some will argue his failed gambles and allowed completions nullify his impact, few can argue the sheer talent he possesses and his ability to flip a game in a heartbeat. As such, opposing quarterbacks weren’t always eager to force balls his way. If a better option existed elsewhere on the field, one who offered less severe consequences, passers often opted to go in that other direction.
Diggs recently saw his targets drop from 103 in that 11-interception season of 2021, to just 85 in 2022. Looking at the players who lined up alongside him in 2022, it’s not hard to understand why.
