Packers' new cornerback, Trevon Diggs, shared how he views himself as a player.
The Green Bay Packers claimed former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs off waivers after the Dallas Cowboys released him.
Diggs struggled mightily for the Cowboys in the 2025 season, leading to his release. However, the Packers picked him up to join their cornerback room ahead of the postseason.
"Still feel like I'm the best," Diggs said when asked what level of player he believes he is.
He was an All-Pro for the Cowboys in the 2021 season and led the league in interceptions with 11. Diggs will look to get back to that level with his new opportunity in Green Bay.
He is joining former teammate and friend Micah Parsons, as they played together for years with the Cowboys. Parsons called him after he was claimed by the Packers.
"He told me it’s work, it’s a lot different and he said I’m gonna like it a lot," Diggs said.
They won't share the field, as Parsons is out for the season with a torn ACL. However, if Diggs plays well and is brought back to Green Bay for the 2026 season, they will reunite.
The Packers needed to bring in another cornerback as their group has struggled on the field and with injuries.
On the outside, Green Bay has started Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon, who have been solid at times but very inconsistent. Javon Bullard has been a bright spot for the Packers at nickel cornerback.
The Packers signed cornerback Nate Hobbs to a four-year $48 million deal in the offseason. Green Bay moved Hobbs to outside corner after he had played in the slot for the Las Vegas Raiders.
However, Hobbs struggled in his new role and was benched for Valentine. The 26-year-old cornerback is now likely out for the season, ending a disappointing first season in Green Bay.
While Diggs hasn't been the All-Pro cornerback he once was, the Packers needed to add depth in the secondary with all their injuries and struggles.
If defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley can help Diggs get back to playing at a high level, he could make a significant impact on the Packers' playoff run.
