Trevon Diggs, a cornerback recently signed by the Green Bay Packers, said Friday that he’s not coming to his new team looking for accolades, but to help them transcend in the NFL playoffs.
“I think I just need to be myself. I’m going out there to perform and if I maintain the level I should everything will fall into place. I don’t come looking for accolades. I don’t want any of that. I’m looking to be a better person every day and help this team win,” the Packers’ new corner said.

Last Tuesday Diggs was fired from the Dallas Cowboys, a team that is already out of the postseason, after several injury and disciplinary problems.
Despite this, he was called upon by Green Bay to face the final game of the NFL regular season and the playoffs.
This year, the player was out eight games due to a right knee problem, which he rehabilitated on his own, which led to his absence from Cowboys activities.
That situation resulted in a $500,000 pay cut as he missed 84 percent of the team’s preseason schedule.
A few weeks ago, the cornerback suffered a concussion, he said, in a domestic accident that, as it transpired, happened on an outing to a nightclub.
A career in a tailspin?
Trevon Diggs is 27 years old.
He came to the NFL drafted by Dallas in the second round of the 2020 Draft, a team with which he was a two-time Pro Bowl selection, had an All-Pro designation and was the interception leader in 2021.
His performances earned him a five-year, $97 million contract extension in 2023.
Since then, its performance has been declining.
In 2023, he tore his left anterior cruciate ligament and played only two games.
Last year he required a chondral graft in the same knee and missed six games for the procedure.
In the eight games he played for the Cowboys this season, Diggs racked up 27 tackles and two pressures; it was his first year without an interception.
The defensive back said he is ready to put all these problems behind him and repay the Packers for the trust they had in hiring him.
“I just want to start fresh, work and keep my head down to prove them wrong,” Diggs concluded.
In Week 18, the final week of the season, the Packers will visit the Minnesota Vikings.
