Diggs played for the Cowboys (2020–2025) before joining the Packers last season, recording 27 tackles and a 59.8 PFF defensive grade in 2025-26, ranking 68th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. While not guaranteed to be a top-tier shutdown corner, Heyrman of SideLion Report argues that at the right price, Diggs could add valuable depth to a lean Lions secondary and help answer lingering questions at the position. The piece emphasizes that such a veteran signing would be a strategic move for Detroit, contingent on organizational decisions by Brad Holmes and the coaching staff.
Key takeaways:
– The Lions are considering Trevon Diggs to address cornerback depth post-draft.
– Diggs brings veteran experience and potential value at the right price, despite mixed recent rankings.
– Analysts see potential upside for Detroit but acknowledge risk if there’s little tread left on Diggs’ tires.
