Cowboys corner Trevon Diggs is playing the best football of his career

The expectations were huge coming out of Alabama for cornerback Trevon Diggs as a second-round pick. He didn't have a smooth start as he gave up some big plays early to guys like D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks, although he made up for it with his hustle to close out the play by forcing a touchback. However, Diggs snagged three interceptions in his final five games as a rookie in 2020, setting the tone for his ascension.

It's no secret that Diggs lit the NFL on fire a season later with an interception in the first six games (seven total) and finished with 11, the most in the NFL since 1981 (Everson Walls).
