No player on the Detroit Lions‘ roster has been able to exceed expectations more than defensive back Quandre Diggs. The 2015 sixth-round pick out of Texas started his tenure in Motown in a reserve role, but quickly became a key player in this defense.
Initially, Diggs found himself buried on the back end of the depth chart, but managed to still appear in every game his rookie season and occasionally make a play in his limited role. Playing as a backup slot cornerback, he made the most of his opportunities and finished his rookie year with 35 tackles, six passes defended, and a forced fumble and fumble recovery.
