Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs is making an early case as this year’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He is currently leading the league in interceptions with six and is arguably the anchor for an improved Cowboys defense that has taken great leaps after being near the bottom of league in every statistic last season.

Hall of Famer and former Cowboy Troy Aikman had a front row seat for the Dallas' 44-20 win vs. the Giants covering the game for Fox Sports.
Aikman had some high praise for the second-year cornerback comparing him to arguably the best corner to ever grace the field, 'Prime Time' Deion Sanders.


“This is very Deion Sanders-like,” Aikman said on the broadcast. “I saw this so many times. He lets the guy go to the deep post but he’s got so much confidence in his speed and his make-up ability, that he makes up the speed. You see how he’s able to close the gap. And then he’s like a wide receiver.”

Diggs, who actually was a wide receiver when he was playing at Alabama, is on a tear with an interception in each of the five Cowboys' games this season. The last Cowboy to do that was Don Bishop back in 1961.

Outside of the addition of Micah Parsons, Diggs helped transform the entire Dallas D. Thanks to them, the Cowboys are 4-1 with a two-game division lead over the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles. Next week, the Cowboys head to Foxboro to take on the New England Patriots and Diggs former Bama teammate Mac Jones.
