Trevon Diggs Issues Plea to Cowboys HC: "Just Give Me One Chance—I’ll Block More Than Ever"

Frisco, TX – September 29, 2025, 3:45 PM CDT

Cornerback Trevon Diggs has reached out with an emotional appeal to Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, pleading for a fresh start amid a rocky 2025 season. The 26-year-old veteran took to social media on Monday afternoon to address his current struggles and express his resolve to reclaim his standing with the team.

In a direct message posted at 3:34 PM CDT, Diggs wrote:

“I know what’s going on right now. Maybe people don’t like me. Just give me one chance—I’ll block more than I ever have before. I want to prove that I’m worthy of my contract.”

This plea comes in the wake of Diggs’ benching during the Cowboys’ Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, a game that left the team at 1-3. Fans and analysts have pointed to his apparent disengagement—highlighted by footage of him ignoring quarterback Dak Prescott’s pregame speech—as a sign of trouble. The situation was compounded by a $500,000 pay cut earlier this year for not meeting the 84% offseason workout participation requirement.

Diggs’ words are aimed squarely at Schottenheimer, who succeeded Mike McCarthy as head coach in 2025 and has been tasked with revamping a defense reeling from the loss of Micah Parsons. With the Cowboys’ secondary under scrutiny—featuring rising stars like Reddy Steward and a returning DaRon Bland—Diggs is fighting to restore his reputation as the 2021 NFL interceptions leader (11 picks) who signed a five-year, $97 million deal in 2023.

No official response has come from Schottenheimer yet, but Diggs’ timely post—amid growing fan frustration and trade speculation—adds pressure to the mix. As the Cowboys gear up for a crucial Week 5 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, all attention will be on whether Schottenheimer offers Diggs the opportunity to prove himself. For now, Diggs’ message stands as a passionate cry to salvage his Cowboys legacy.

“My Cause My Cleats” shoes and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Emotional Tribute Just Hours Before Giants Game Leave Detroit Speechless – A Story That Brought Lions Fans to Tears
Detroit, Michigan – November 22, 2025 Just hours before kickoff against the Giants, Amon-Ra St. Brown sent an emotional explosion through Detroit. Not because of a highlight, not because of a tactical breakdown – but because of his brand-new “My Cause My Cleats.” A pair of cleats carrying a personal story so deep that it left the entire Lions Nation choking back tears right before the massive showdown with the New York Giants. Team sources say St. Brown dedicated these cleats to his cousin who has Down syndrome – someone who became an inseparable part of his childhood. She was the first in the family with the condition, and she was the one who taught St. Brown patience, compassion, and how to love people unconditionally. After their grandmother passed away, the St. Brown family took turns caring for her for many years. Those very days shaped the soul of the man wearing No. 14 today. Just hours before the game, St. Brown silenced the entire locker room when he explained the real reason behind the cleats: “I want the whole world to know my cousin’s story. She has always been the softest, brightest light in our family. If these cleats make even one person understand more, love more, or open their heart more to people like her, then that is the greatest gift I could ever give her today.” Those words spread across social media like wildfire and truly brought Lions Nation to tears. For this year’s campaign, St. Brown chose to support Best Buddies Michigan – the organization that helps individuals with intellectual disabilities integrate and find their place in the community. The cleats are designed in the organization’s signature colors and will be auctioned immediately after the game to raise funds for families with loved ones who have Down syndrome. In the middle of Detroit’s playoff race, St. Brown’s tribute showed once again what this city has always been proud of: the heart of this team is bigger than any stat line. Amon-Ra isn’t just bringing hope for a win into Ford Field. He’s bringing love for his family, love for the community, and love for a cousin who helped turn him into the kind, respected man all of Detroit looks up to.
