I haven’t seen anything superior to Diggs out of the gate.
He definitely has some upside, but outside of maybe being faster, he’s not a better corner in any way that Diggs was last year, and Diggs wasn’t all that great.
All that said, I’d love to see him come on and make me eat crow. I’ll root for him, I just don’t think forcing reps to him in blowouts does the team any favors and I trust Quinn with how he handles the roster (unless it’s playing Parsons eight yards off the LOS all game again).
Kelvin Joseph was terrific
on the field in college. Better than some CBs drafted ahead of him.
I wouldn't go as far as saying better than Diggs.
Pre-draft I advocated for drafting Diggs with the Cowboys 1st round pick.
- I thought Diggs was as good as any CB in that draft.
Different style of player between Joseph and Diggs.
If you compared Sherman and Revis in the NFL, they played drastically different styles.
- Revis was the traditional man-coverage CB that was just glued to the WR throughout the route.
Diggs plays a style more like Richard Sherman.
- Master of technique & film study. Physical with great ball skills.
- Plays within the scheme taking chances because he knows where his help defenders are located.
Joseph in college played a more traditional style than Diggs.
- He showed that unique ability to mirror WRs while making minimal contact with them.
- Joseph did show a good understand of the game and of zone coverage as well.
- He didn't shy away from contact in the run game. He was borderline too physical with some knock your head off type tackles.
