1). HOW HE STACKS UP

At 6-foot-2, 207 pounds, Diggs' arms and hands measure 32 ¾ and 9 ⅜ inches, respectively.

2). DOUBLE THREAT

Diggs played wide receiver and defensive back at The Avalon School in Gaithersburg, Md., setting him up to do the same at Alabama where he played offense (11-88-8.0, one TD), defense (5 tackles, one forced fumble) and special teams (7-166-23.7 kick returns, 13-130-10.0 punt returns) in 15 games his freshman year, NFL.com reported.

3). COLLEGE STATS

Diggs played defense exclusively starting in his sophomore year registering six tackles, three pass breakups and one start in 13 games. He became a starter the following year, totaling 20 tackles, one interception and six pass breakups in six games -- but his season was cut short after he sustained a broken foot. He returned this year with 37 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

Diggs is the younger brother of Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.
