Aaiden Diggs, Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs‘ son, is once again stealing hearts. Aaiden went viral in the preseason after the HBO Hard Knocks crew showcased his cuteness when meeting Dak Prescott in Episode 3.

This time, the NFL films crew got the younger Diggs on camera during one of the Cowboys’ games as he cheered his dad on from the stands.

“Believe in yourself,” Aaiden Diggs yelled. “Make sure you do good!”

Trevon Diggs has clearly taught his son a lot. Aaiden also yelled, “Break those ankles,” and “We’re trying to make the money, we want the money.”

Trevon Diggs having unbelievable year

Aaiden Diggs’ dad Trevon has most definitely been “doing good” this season for Dallas.

Diggs got his seventh interception of the season against the New England Patriots, and his second pick-six of the year. His interception tied Hall of Famer Rod Woodson for the only player with seven interceptions through six games.

Diggs entered Sunday’s game with an interception in each of the Cowboys’ first five games. With that milestone, he joined elite company. He joined Tom Landry, Barry Wilburn and Brian Russell as the only players in NFL history to string six straight games with a pick to open the season.

Despite the former Alabama cornerback’s stunning performances, he’s still behind a litany of quarterbacks in the race for NFL MVP.

Diggs finds his spot at Alabama

Trevon Diggs initially followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Bills star wideout Stefon Diggs. However, Nick Saban told him he saw his future in the secondary. That move changed everything.

“I was like, ‘All right. I’ll give it a shot. I’ll try it out,’” Diggs said about the change to defense. “And then one camp I did and it fit, and I just stuck with it and I tried to protect my craft as much as possible. I tried to work as hard as possible. As soon as he said that, that’s what my main focus was and it worked out.”

Diggs had 37 tackles, eight pass breakups, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles for Alabama. He returned two of those turnovers for touchdowns. As a senior, he made the All-SEC team, and Diggs was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by Dallas.
