This move adds speed to their secondary right as they push for better playoff seeding. Fans see Diggs as a key boost amid injury woes.

Trevon Diggs embraces fresh start at Green Bay Packers

Diggs hit the practice field with Green Bay on Thursday and oozed confidence. He made it clear his focus stays sharp despite the team switch.

“I’m not chasing accolades. I’m not chasing anything. I’m chasing being a better me, being better every day … helping this team win,” said Trevon Diggs. His words show a mindset shift that could ignite the Packers’ backfield.

“It feels good. I want to be comfortable with being uncomfortable being somewhere that I’ve never been before. Just starting over, starting fresh, a clean slate, and just working, and keeping my head down,” Diggs added. This attitude helps him mesh fast with new teammates.

The cornerback still believes in his elite skills. “Like I’m the best,” he said simply. That swagger echoes his dominant 2021 season when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions.

Trevon Diggs’ reunion with Micah Parsons and Dallas backdrop

Diggs links up with ex-Cowboy Micah Parsons, sidelined for the year with a torn ACL from last month’s loss to Denver. Parsons hyped the move early.

“It’s a lot different. He said I’m going to like it a lot and I’m going to enjoy it. So far, I’ve been enjoying it a lot. My first day was out there today, and I had a lot of fun,” recalled Diggs. Their bond brings familiarity to Green Bay’s defense.

Diggs notched 5 picks across five seasons in Dallas, peaking with 11 in 2021 to top all corners. His 2024 output dropped to 47 tackles and 1 INT before the release, a decline from his career highs.

The Packers’ secondary ranks 14th in pass yards allowed at 219 per game this year. Diggs joins Jaire Alexander, boosting a unit that forced 12 turnovers in 16 games.

Green Bay holds a 9-7 record, clinging to the NFC’s No. 6 seed. Diggs’ addition compares to how DaRon Bland exploded with 9 interceptions after Diggs’ injury in Dallas.

Diggs stands ready to rediscover his pick-six magic in green and gold. Packers fans see this waiver wire steal sparking a deep playoff charge.

Next up, Green Bay hosts a Wild Card foe with seeding locked. Diggs eyes to start soon, chasing turnovers that could rewrite their postseason story. He stands ready to outshine his days in Dallas and silence his doubters.
