Diggs is a third-year junior, and like Agholor, he was a 5-star recruit coming out of high school and had his pick of the best programs in the country. He is from the Baltimore area and chose to stay home and attend Maryland. He made an impact right away as a freshman with 54 receptions for 848 yards and six touchdowns. He also returned kickoffs and punts as a freshman and had two kickoff returns for TD’s. In 2013 he got off to a great start with 34 receptions for 587 yards and three touchdowns before missing the final six games with a leg injury. In 2014, he again missed three games but still caught 62 passes for 792 yards and five touchdowns. While he didn’t return punts, he had 20 kickoff returns for 478 yards.
Diggs is listed as being 6000 – 190. While he looks 190, he seems a little shorter than 6’0”. Still, he is well built and strong. He is a quick athlete with very good body control. He has quick change of direction with a burst. I don’t see a burner, but he has good play speed. I would estimate he will run in the 4.50 range.
Diggs lines up all over and is a good route runner. He is a nimble cutter who can get in and out of his cuts instananeously. He is a good, but not great, route runner. He gets separation because of his quickness.
He has good hands and can make the acrobatic catch. He adjusts to the ball very well but will body catch some. After the catch, he is a very good runner who is quick and elusive but not powerful. He will compete for the ball in traffic and shows good toughness.
Overall, I see Diggs as more of a slot receiver, but he can line up outside. I don’t see him as being as good or as explosive as say a Brandin Cooks (New Orleans), but he has the talent to play early in his career. He is more of a mid-second round player depending on how he runs. While he has return skills, I don’t see him having the return skills to be a club's top returner. He would be a serviceable backup in that area.
