Trevon Diggs Claps Back at Those Criticizing His Interception Numbers

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs had a breakout season in 2021, recording 11 interceptions on his way to a Pro Bowl selection. However, not everybody thinks his season was great.

Analysts, like some at Pro Football Focus, believe that Diggs’s penchant for interceptions comes at the cost of allowing big plays in the passing game when he isn’t successfully forcing a takeaway.

On Wednesday, Diggs was asked about his propensity to “take chances” instead of focusing on techniques when he covers receivers.

“What chances? I don’t know what taking chances means. I play football,” he said.
