QUANDRE DIGGS

Diggs is a running back, quarterback and cornerback/nickel all wrapped into one and he possesses a special blend of speed, quickness, smooth hips and ideal change-of-direction skills. We feel he will likely end up as a corner and return specialist and all his physical traits would lead you to believe he could end up being one of the better ones to come out of this class. He has the run support instincts of last years Jon Fulton and the ball skills and cover skills of Greg Reid from the 2009 class. He possesses just marginal height, but a strong, sturdy build and he plays very physical. His open field run skills as a run oriented QB are excellent. He is quick, decisive and explosive. Shows good vision and can make people miss. Possesses excellent stop and start ability and a low center of gravity. His hips are smooth and he shows very good lateral agility to jump cut. This physical traits along with a pesky attitude are why he excites coaches on defense. He does not have the physical stature to consistently play close to the box, but he is feisty and will fill versus run-- likes to mix it up. Plays inside and outside. He is a versatile player that has good awareness. Is quick and balanced in his pedal and shows good burst coming out of it. Rarely takes false steps and while he has the tools to take chances, he does not take many. His risks are calculated and he makes a lot of plays on the ball. He can accelerate and shows impressive burst breaking on the ball. He has the hips to transition on vertical routes. Covers a ton of ground and rapidly reaches top speed. Ball skills are very good and he certainly can make things happen with INT's. As a kick and punt returner he possesses the tools to be a field position changer. Overall, Diggs will have to transition to defense full time and continue to develop, but the learning curve will not be steep. He is instinctive and competitive and he is a playmaker in all three phases of the game.
