You can tell Quandre Diggs talks a lot of trash during practice by the way his teammates treat him on social media.
The most-popular genre of joke for these Seahawks is to make fun of Diggs for his size. (He’s listed as 5-foot-9, 179 pounds). While it hasn’t stopped him from being one of the league’s elite performers at his position, it has made him easy to dunk on – figuratively speaking – on Twitter.
Diggs’ chief antagonist is the team’s combo fullback, linebacker and special teams ace Nick Bellore. Yesterday No. 44 officially kicked off the 2023 season with a fresh meme attack, mocking Diggs by photoshopping him even smaller standing next to a huge truck.

As for football, Bellore has re-signed on a two-year deal and should continue his role as special teams captain. While he’s not a big earner, Bellore is a critical “glue guy” type piece for this roster. For what they’re paying him, he offers great value.
Diggs also has two years remaining on his contract and now that Uchenna Nwosu has been taken care of he may be the team’s top candidate to get an extension. While ESPN’s recent safety rankings somehow left him out of the top 10, Diggs belongs in the top two. We won’t argue that he’s better than Pittsburgh’s Minkah Fitzpatrick, but Diggs is at least as good as any other safety in the NFL right now.
