Diggs is a versatile play-maker who built his game up from the JUCO level (Iowa Western) and developed into a proven depended on defender for the Blazers.
Great size to match up vs. big receivers. He can play safety or cornerback. Good playing strength and loves to hit. Diggs can knock receivers off their routes. Physical in press coverage and is best in man-to-man. He reacts quickly and is a sound tackler.
Diggs brother Stefon plays for the Minnesota Vikings so Mar’Sean has that same DNA. Playing in a 4-2-5 at UAB, Diggs offers a lot of upside and versatility.
