The Cowboys CB's are going to surprise this year. The change in coaching alone will make an impact and an improved pass rush won't hurt either.
So we're getting a damn good player? I'll take it.Byron Jones 2.0...
Do you think he will have the same impact his rookie year..
Actually he was one of the most underrated Cowboys players by fans on this board.Byron Jones was one of the most overrated Cowboy players by fans on this board
Everything on Diggs' athleticism is a guess since he didn't work out at the combine or individual workouts.Diggs should have it a bit more easier to break in to the NFL than Jones who former coaching regime
" flexed " all over the place as he was forced into learning starting CB, nickel-slot and
safety in his early years instead of having to learn and master one lone position into the league.
Diggs also played top competition and teams in college, in arguably the toughest competition in NCAA
and he appears to have more adept ball skills than what Jones presented.
The big difference is clear that Byron had phenomenal top physical athleticism (4.3 speed, world class jumping ability,etc) while Trevor Diggs has average physical athleticism, but seems to have superior
ball hawk skills and hands/knack for turnovers and INTs.
If Diggs had half of the superior pure athleticism as Jones did, he likely would have been a definite top 5 to 8 overall player in this past draft. Not having ideal 40 time recovery speed was the likely reason why Diggs fell
into the 2nd round and right into Cowboys lap.
Besides ball hawk skills that change momentum and courses of the game, you also hope to get a play maker
and coverage CB that plays a great deal faster than what he times.
And its not out of the question either. CB Richard Sherman reportedly only had a 4.58 timed 40 prior
to his NFL draft period.
As a 2nd round pick with his collegiate accolades, i'd strongly like to see Diggs at least
within the starting three CB sets. (Brown, Diggs, Awuzie ?) during his rookie year.
I really just dunno where Worley, Lewis or 4th rounder Reggie Robinson fits in per depth chart or roles ?
For real. The blade is ever something that should be it's sharpest. You only come as close as thou wilt.Nice to see these guys working.

Based on his college play.Everything on Diggs' athleticism is a guess since he didn't work out at the combine or individual workouts.
CB Trevon Diggs Looks Seasoned In Private Workouts
When the Dallas Cowboys lost Byron Jones to the Miami Dolphins is free agency it catapulted the cornerback position to the top of their needs when the NFL Draft came about in April. After stealing Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb at 17 in the first round, they snagged another stud in Cornerback Trevon Diggs at 51, a player some had mocked to the Cowboys in the first round.
In the video below, Diggs is getting in work with trainer J. Hicks, a footwork/movement specialist. Diggs does a great job with his quick feet and looks fluid in his speed turns, which is very important when defending small and shifty receivers.

he will replace BJ no problem, hopefully with a little more ball skills..heck it took 3 years for BJ to even get where he got, im betting Diggs gets it quicker..
Actually he was one of the most underrated Cowboys players by fans on this board.
I'm excited to watch him, boss!Diggs is a REAL prospect at CB from a big school. BJ was a project athlete. Guy had little to no football 6th sense whatsoever.
I was ok spending a first on him. The fact we got Lamb and Diggs is insaneDiggs is a REAL prospect at CB from a big school. BJ was a project athlete. Guy had little to no football 6th sense whatsoever.
