It's a shame that this play was invalidated because of an illegal substitution. Alabama CB Trevon Diggs does a great job sinking to defend the corner route. Doesn't get too hung on the underneath stuff. Very nice.
Nice rep in press-man vs a vertical route by Diggs here. Like his patience at the LOS to not bite on the inside stick. Uses an off-hand jam to widen the WR and then squeezes him to the sideline.
Another nice rep here from Diggs. He does a good job anticipating the break and undercutting the out route. Very nice.
Like how Diggs keys to the QB's drop here from off coverage. Enables him to drive on the slant and breakup the pass.
At 6-foot-1 with over 32-inch arms, Diggs can be a bully at the LOS in the NFL. Powerful one hand jam here to disrupt the WR at the LOS.
Great job here of Diggs squeezing the inside release before crowding and cutting off the WR at the breakpoint.
Love how Diggs attacks this ball to secure the INT at the catch point. Diggs shows impressive ball skills when he can turn his head and vision the ball to the catch point.
