Trevon Diggs says no one should be concerned about the viral video in which he was jawing at Dak Prescott.
Things got a little chippy at Cowboys camp earlier this week when Prescott avoided a pass rush, scrambled for a touchdown and said something that got a rise out of the defense.
“Shut yo b—h ass up,” Diggs, the defensive back, told the quarterback.
Asked about the incident at Cowboys practice, Diggs downplayed it as all in good fun.
“I feel like it makes practice fun. At the end of the day, that’s my brother. I love Dak to death. There nothing behind it. It’s just competitiveness, it’s just football,” Diggs told reporters on Thursday, according to The Athletic.
Diggs also disputed the notion that the language in this clip was indicative of a lack of respect he has for his quarterback.
“Stay out of our business,” Diggs said.
“People don’t need to worry about what we got going on, our relationship, my relationship with my brother. Dak is the leader of our team. He’s going to go out there and have a great year. I have the utmost respect for Dak.”
Prescott, 30, is entering his eighth NFL season.
The quarterback told USA Today that he is harnessing outside noise as motivation.
“I never want anything easy, never want somebody to give me the shortcut to it,” Prescott said.
“I’m embracing everything that’s coming my way — negativity, criticism, whatever it may be. I’m getting better.”
He said he is his own harshest critic and is especially concerned with limiting his turnovers after throwing for a league-high 15 interceptions last season, despite missing five games.
“Obviously, me coming from a year last year, leading the league in interceptions and not performing the way I wanted … I’ve always been a fighter. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder and had it before,” Prescott continued.
The Cowboys are +175 to win the NFC East and +1400 to win the Super Bowl, according to the latest odds on FanDuel.
