"He has had 20 interceptions in six NFL seasons, including a league high of 11 in 2021. "Under new coordinator Daronte Jones, Diggs can use his man coverage traits and backfield vision to get a jump on the ball in the Commanders' pressure-heavy scheme.

However, he has plenty of availability concerns after spending at least a portion of the past three seasons on injured reserve.
