It wasn't necessarily meant as a dis, but it will be taken that way.
Prior to their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase offered insight that would be great analysis if he worked on NFL Network, but will be viewed as bulletin-board material coming from an opposing player:
Diggs led the NFL 11 interceptions in 2021, and was named an All-Pro. However, outlets like Pro Football Focus weren't especially kind to Diggs in terms of his overall body of work, suggesting that when he wasn't picking the ball off, he was gashed for 1,068 receiving yards by players he was tasked with covering.
To stop Chase, the Cowboys might need prime Deion Sanders.
After being selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Chase caught 81 passes for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns, en route to winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Chase started off his second season by catching 10 passes for 129 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
