Forget the rumors, forget the past: two-time Pro Bowler Trevon Diggs dropped the bomb every Seahawks fan needed to hear. He’s 100% healthy, baby! Our newest cornerback, signed Wednesday, confirmed it himself, saying this is his first offseason without rehab, putting in the work and feeling truly thankful. It’s a blessing to be back out here, and frankly, it’s a blessing for the 12s that he’s in green and blue.
Got His Guys Already
This isn’t just some random free agent walking into Lumen Field, nope. Diggs is rolling into a locker room already stacked with familiar faces. He played with edge rushers DeMarcus Lawrence and Dante Fowler Jr. back in Dallas, and guess who was the defensive coordinator there? Our very own Ande Durde! Diggs says having those guys to lean on, to ask questions, is incredibly valuable. He’s already seeing those family-esque bonds that made his Cowboy defenses tick. You know how important that is for a football team, being together, being one, keeping that locker room straight. Diggs sees those similarities already, and that’s exactly what you want to hear from a veteran coming in.
And it doesn’t stop there. Diggs even played alongside our starting corner Josh Jobe at Alabama! Jobe’s already offered to help him get down head coach Mike Macdonald’s defense, and Diggs is ready to put in the work, cracking that playbook every single day. That’s a true competitor right there, ready to give himself every chance to compete and help us win.
Macdonald’s Defense Just Got a Turnovers Hunter
Speaking of Coach Macdonald’s defense, Diggs is already gushing about it. He said it looks “amazing.” When you hear a Pro Bowler say a defense gets to the quarterback, creates turnovers, and does “all the right things,” you get hyped. Diggs is excited to be a part of it, and he’s eager to help this team win. He’s got the resume to back it up, too. This Alabama product prides himself on his ball skills, and for good reason! He’s racked up 20 career interceptions, with an insane 11 picks in his 2021 All-Pro season. He can play in the slot, he can play outside, he’s just a playmaker.
Diggs admitted he leaned on family through some tough times last season, dealing with concussion symptoms and getting waived by both the Cowboys and then the Packers. But that’s behind him now. He’s here, 100% healthy, and ready to compete. What does this mean for the Hawks? A 27-year-old, two-time Pro Bowler, who’s been a First-Team All-Pro, is walking into the Emerald City ready to hunt down passes and make our secondary absolutely electric. Get ready, 12s. This season just got a whole lot more exciting with a healthy Diggs patrolling the defensive backfield!
