The Dallas Cowboys’ 2020 season has come to an end, and with it, the rookie season of cornerback Trevon Diggs. Diggs was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and was expected to make an immediate impact on the Cowboys’ secondary.
Diggs had a solid rookie season, recording 53 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 passes defended. He was also named to the NFL All-Rookie team. Despite his impressive performance, Diggs was unable to help the Cowboys reach the playoffs.
The Cowboys’ defense was one of the worst in the league this season, and Diggs was part of that. He struggled at times in coverage, as he was targeted often and gave up several big plays. He also had some issues with penalties, as he was flagged for pass interference and illegal contact multiple times.
Despite his struggles, Diggs showed flashes of potential throughout the season. He had some big plays, including a game-clinching interception against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. He also showed good tackling ability and was able to make plays in the run game.
Overall, Diggs had a solid rookie season with the Cowboys. He showed potential and should be able to build on his performance in 2021. With a full offseason to work on his technique and develop his skills, Diggs should be able to take a big step forward next season.
The Cowboys will need Diggs to take that step if they want to make a run at the playoffs in 2021. He will be an important part of their defense and will need to continue to improve if they want to have success next season.
