#8 Trevon Diggs (Dallas Cowboys)
Trevon Diggs has been one of the only bright sparks for a struggling Cowboys Defense
Dallas Cowboys would select cornerback Trevon Diggs with their 51st pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Trevon Diggs would spend all four years at Alabama. His best years at Alabama were his junior and senior seasons.
Trevon Diggs Career Stats at Alabama:
- Total Tackles: 68

- Forced Fumbles: 2
- Fumble Recoveries: 2
- Touchdowns: 2
Trevon Diggs' senior year was his best year at Alabama. He would record 37 total tackles, 1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries and 2 touchdowns. On a stacked Alabama team Diggs sometimes got lost in the shuffle.
Trevon Diggs' NFL Rookie Season
Trevon Diggs would play 12 out of the 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys during the 2020 NFL Season. In those 12 games Trevon Diggs would be a bright spark for the Dallas Cowboys' struggling defense. The Cowboys defense got better as the season went along and they were a game away from making the 2021 NFL Playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys would have one of the worst seasons in recent years since Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott joined the team. This would be the worst defense the Cowboys would have in recent years as well. The Cowboys would finish the 2020 NFL Season with a 6-10 record which placed them in third place in the NFC East.

- Sacks: 1
- Forced Fumbles: 1
- Pass Deflections: 14
- Interceptions: 3
Trevon Diggs would lead the Dallas Cowboys in interceptions in his rookie season. He would finish seventh in total tackles for the Cowboys as well. Diggs would have the same amount of sacks as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive tackle Antwaun Woods.
Diggs would also lead all Cowboys defensive backs in pass deflections with 14. Trevon has the potential to be one of the elite cornerbacks in the NFL in the next one to two years. The more he is on the field the better he will be for the Cowboys secondary.
Dallas Cowboys just recently signed former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn to be their defensive coordinator in the 2021 NFL Season. Trevon Diggs will flourish under Dan Quinn and will become the top cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Season and could have a big break out year in his second season.
#7 Donovan Peoples-Jones (Cleveland Browns)
Cleveland Browns got a steal when they drafted Donovan Peoples-Jones
Cleveland Browns would select wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones with their 187th pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Peoples-Jones was one of the top wide receivers at Michigan. Donovan Peoples-Jones has an NFL wide receiver frame that he used to his advantage in college while playing for the Wolverines.

- Receptions: 103
- Receiving yards: 1,327 yards
- Touchdowns: 14
In the three years that Donovan Peoples-Jones spent at Michigan he would have his best year in his sophomore season. During the 2018 college football season he would rack up 612 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns on 47 receptions. He would also record 743 return yards and 2 touchdowns.
Donovan Peoples-Jones' NFL Rookie Season
Donovan Peoples-Jones would appear in seven games for the Cleveland Browns during his rookie season. He would see more action when O'Dell Beckham Jr. went down with his leg injury. Cleveland got a steal in the draft when selecting Peoples-Jones because a lot of fans were surprised he fell to the sixth round.
Donovan Peoples-Jones 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Receptions: 14
- Receiving yards: 304 yards
- Touchdowns: 2
Peoples-Jones would record good but not great numbers in his seven appearances. He would provide the Browns with what they needed. He was not entered into the starting lineup on offense to replace O'Dell Beckham Jr.
Donovan Peoples-Jones would record his best game for the Browns against the Tennessee Titans. He would record 2 catches for 92 receiving yards and a touchdown. One of his receptions was broken for 75 yards.
He brings the Browns a big frame to throw to over the middle. Peoples-Jones gives the Browns a wide receiver that can use his size to his advantage. Donovan would use the experience to his advantage. He would improve each and every snap he played during the 2020 NFL Season.
O'Dell Beckham Jr. will be returning in the 2021 NFL Season and Jarvis Landry has already secured the number two wide receiver slot. Donovan Peoples-Jones would fit perfectly in the number three slot at wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns. It will be interesting to see how the Browns use him in the 2021 NFL Season.
Cleveland needs to make sure that they do not waste him in his early years and then lose him to another team. Donovan Peoples-Jones has the skill set to be an elite wide receiver in the NFL. We could potentially see him break out of his shell in the 2021 NFL Season for the Browns offense.
