This is an over route-a route thrown, by Sports Info Solutions’ charting, 255 times in the 2020 season. For example, this interception against the Panthers on third-and-short is an example of situational awareness, aggressiveness, and ball skills. With such jaw-dropping production in such a short period of time, the important questions are clear: How is Diggs doing this? And is this sustainable? I think I have answers for both.įirst, if we cut up Diggs’s interceptions, we see something that should be fairly obvious from the jump: It takes a lot of talent and a lot of luck to grab seven interceptions in six games. Over the offseason the Cowboys switched defensive coordinators and drafted two day-two cornerbacks, placing Diggs as a presumptive but uncertain starter entering training camp. He ended the year with three picks, all against the Eagles, and largely an up-and-down report card from the defensive coaching staff. Diggs didn’t snag an interception until Week 8 of his rookie season, in which he picked off interception machine Carson Wentz-twice.
Such astounding production often comes out of nowhere, and that’s especially true for the former second-round pick. He also shares the record for most interceptions (seven) through six games in the Super Bowl era with Rod Woodson-good company to share. If he records an interception against the Vikings in Week 8 (the Cowboys have a bye in Week 7), Diggs will stand alone in the record books. Only Barry Wilburn, Brian Russell, and ex-Cowboys coach Tom Landry have ever started the season with an interception in each of their first six games no player has done it for seven. He has seven interceptions in six games, and has recorded at least one pick in each contest.
That’s the bet of a lifetime.ĭiggs is in that conversation because his early-season production has been nearly unprecedented.
Six weeks through the season, he’s hot on Myles Garrett’s heels at +450. The second-year corner, who was far from a rookie sensation, was posted at odds longer than +15000 for the Defensive Player of the Year Award. If you have that ticket, send me a screenshot. Can the owner of the preseason Trevon Diggs Defensive Player of the Year ticket please come to the front desk?
