Brothers Stefon and Trevon Diggs push each other to greater heights

Stephanie Diggs thought she had seen it all from her son Stefon.

“I’ve never seen Stefon that excited,” Stephanie said. “[He was like], ‘Mom, Mom, Can you believe it?'”

Not only did the Buffalo Bills wide receiver make his second consecutive Pro Bowl, but his younger brother — Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs — made his first in his second season in the league. After the announcement, about 15 family and friends from around the country gathered on FaceTime to celebrate.

For the Diggs’ family, the selections validated a season of success beyond what they could have dreamed.

“[Both of us making the Pro Bowl is] probably one of my favorite moments of this year, for real, because that’s my brother,” Trevon said. “I love him to death and just being able to go up there with him, that’s fire.”

While Stefon’s success and star power has been on display for the last few years, Trevon’s emergence has just begun, finishing the season as the league’s leader in interceptions (11). Stefon’s support through the years helped him get there.

“I was just more proud than anything,” Stefon said. “I was more happy for when I heard about him [making the Pro Bowl], because I knew he was going, but I still wanted to see it. I saw his picture and I saw his face, I saw him in the Cowboys [jersey], I’m like, yeah, that’s my little brother.”

But the brothers have postseason games first. Their teams are the No. 3 seeds in the AFC and NFC. Trevon is in for the first time in his career with the Cowboys hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (4:30 p.m. ET, CBS), while Stefon helped the Bills win a second straight AFC East title, and a matchup against the New England Patriots awaits Saturday (8:15 p.m. ET, CBS).

The Diggs brothers have yet to play each other in the NFL. That could come in this…
