Former Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs, now playing for the Dallas Cowboys, confronted a TV reporter after a recent loss to the San Francisco 49ers, using a phrase associated with his former coach Nick Saban. The incident occurred after the reporter questioned Diggs’ performance during a key play in the game. Diggs responded by telling the reporter to “stay in your lane” and used a phrase connected to Saban before walking away.
In a subsequent interview, Diggs explained that he felt the reporter was trying to use his name for clicks and that he had played his hardest during the game. Diggs, a second-round draft pick in 2020, has been a Pro Bowler and a first-team All-Pro in recent years. Despite returning from a knee injury this season, Diggs has been a key contributor to the Cowboys’ defense.
The Cowboys are set to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and Diggs will look to continue his strong performance on the field. The incident with the reporter highlights Diggs’ competitive nature and dedication to his team. For more coverage of the NFL, visit the AL.com NFL page.
