Allen Park – Quandre Diggs is on the hot seat, but the Detroit Lions cornerback isn’t feeling the heat. Maybe because he’s used to it.
Diggs has always been something of an underdog. The half-brother of Quentin Jammer, a two-time All-American and top-10 NFL draft pick, Diggs had big shoes to fill. He followed Jammer to Texas and became a four-year starter, fending off four- and five-star recruits each year, despite less-than-ideal measurables.
His size, and those aforementioned measurables, caused Diggs to slide to the sixth round of the draft when he came out in 2015, but by the end of his rookie season, he was starting at nickel corner for the Lions.
