Who are Stefon Diggs’ brothers?
Stefon Diggs has two younger brothers: Trevon, born in 1998, and Darez, born in 1995. Both of them play football; Trevon Diggs is the cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys and Darez played for Morgan State University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Friendship Collegiate Academy Public Charter School in Washington, D.C.
The Diggs brothers were born to Stephanie and Aron Diggs and grew up in the greater Washington, D.C. Aron is primarily responsible for all his boys playing football; it all began when they were five years old. After school, he would take them to a local park for workouts. Unfortunately, Aron passed away in January 2008 at the age of 39 from congestive heart failure. Then Stefon was 14 years old when Aron died, Darez was 12, and Trevon was 9. Stephanie, their mother, was an Amtrak attendant for almost 30 years before retiring. Their father's death took a toll, and Stefon, as the eldest, took on parental responsibilities, like taking his brothers to the local park, as their father used to. (via People magazine)
