Trevon Diggs looks like he is the best cornerback within the league.
“I wouldn’t put another corner in front of me,” Diggs advised Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein lately.
Through 11 video games, Diggs is second in cross deflections (13) and tied for eighth in interceptions (three), so he can again up his daring assertion.
Although he most likely will not surpass his interception whole final 12 months (11), Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn did not need him to concentrate on picks. Quinn requested him to implement incremental adjustments as a substitute.
“You’re creating your present, not trying to match your past,” Quinn said he told Diggs lately.
Diggs created a greater current. Per Pro Football Reference, his missed deal with fee dropped from 16.1 p.c to 2.3 p.c.
Also, he allowed fewer yards per recreation in cross protection this 12 months. He holds opponents to 43.8 yards per recreation, versus 56.7 yards per recreation final 12 months.
What makes this extra spectacular is Diggs lined up in opposition to a number of Pro Bowl wideouts. He coated Jamar Chase (Bengals), Justin Jefferson (Vikings) and Cooper Kupp (Rams). Despite the difficult matchups, he allowed solely two receiving touchdowns.
The Cowboys protection benefited. It ranks No. 2 in scoring protection and No. 1 in passing yards allowed, cementing Diggs’ claim for the highest participant at his place.
