Sounds crazy but I'm talking about 3-5 plays a game on offense.

He was a WR in high school with back to back thousand yard seasons his junior and senior year.

At the most recent Pro Bowl competitions, Diggs won 1st place in a receiving contest and was the only defensive player in the competition.

Perhaps he shares some of the same attributes as a 1st team All Pro and one of the most prolific receivers in the present day NFL, none other than his brother.

Just another potential weapon for occasional sit Stefon.

I believe he has legitimate receiving skills and could help the Cowboys in certain situations. He's got great hands and is extremely competitive. His experience as a 1st team All Pro cornerback could help him against his defensive opponents.

If the Cowboys feel like they don't have sufficient WR talent in certain situations, perhaps Diggs could help them. It doesn't have to be a designed play for him but he would still have to be considered a legitimate threat and i think he would be.

Four receiver sets, Hail Mary passes into the endzone at the end of a half, and 3rd and long plays are situations where he may be able to help, any play where good hands are critical.Again, I'm not talking about any kind of leading role, just another option to consider.

Not worth the risk imo. Injury, fatigue, etc.

I also don't believe he'd be good enough to take plays away from the WRs we already have... but who knows.

Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see him get some punt return opportunities again though!

If he can play the position, I have no problem with it in certain situations.

Diggs made some amazing catches in the Pro Bowl receiving competition. He even beat out his brother. It was crazy, a cornerback winning that competition.

Micah is faster and has better hands.......

So.....no to the hands, absolutely yes to the speed. Micah is lightning.

That same weekend Micah baked two Pro Bowl WR's in a race.

why ??Deion did it. if its few snaps here or there why not?? im betting as surprise when needed like wait until big moment in big game and he trots out there and the defense would be not expecting it..i would have loved to see that in the 9er playoff game.

Sanders was our WR1 for the first few games of 96 when Irvin was suspended, but that was Deion.

Diggs ain't him. I just dont think we need any help at WR honestly, unless like four guys go down mid game....and the guy is human. Do we want him gassed at CB? Worth the risk? I dunno.

disagree like Parsons Diggs is muti talented guy and can be as good a wr in spot duty as he is a CB, i guarantee it..just because you havnt seen it doesn't make it true..Dieon did ok as wr I'm betting Diggs can do as good or better.

the only reasons teams did this with players like BO and Dieon is they were willing to risk it , todays salary cap and smaller rosters etc teams have avoided having two way payers but if there ever were any on our team, diggs qualifies. He literally plays the CB spot like a wr!

his balls skills, hands, and the way he runs after and INT shows he can be wr if needed in sport duty, most teams now wont even let their star Wrs return punts anymore..Dieon wouldn't be Dieon in this era..he would be making 28 mil year and teams wouldn't let his be a 3 way player.

Good post, that is what this time of year is about...trying new things. 100% Diggs should be one of the WRs in a hail Mary situation.

Diggs should be getting reps at WR just to see what he can do...that's good coaching. Not saying #7 is better than true WR options, but he's worth a look.
