Supreme self-confidence is a key element to the success of just about every NFL player, and it’s no different for Green Bay Packers cornerback Trevon Diggs.
The two-time Pro Bowler spoke with reporters on Thursday, January 1, just days after the Packers claimed him off waivers. Diggs was available to Green Bay for Week 18, plus the team’s playoff run, because the Dallas Cowboys chose to release the defensive back with three years remaining on his $97 million contract at the age of just 28.
The lack of faith in Diggs displayed by the Cowboys via that decision, plus three consecutive seasons of injury issues (29 missed games since Week 1 of the 2023 campaign), might reasonably shake most professional athletes.
But not Diggs.
