Entering Year 6, Cowboys Star Defender Says Mindset Has Changed: ‘We’re Ready to Own the League’

After wrapping up Day 1 of Cowboys Training Camp, veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs didn’t hesitate to set the tone for the 2025 season.

“I feel like we’ve got all the right pieces now—and the mindset,” Diggs said. “We’re not here to compete anymore. We’re here to take over.”

Now entering his sixth season with Dallas, Diggs has evolved from flashy ball hawk to respected locker room presence. His message wasn’t just for reporters—it was a declaration aimed at teammates, coaches, and the rest of the league.

The cornerback’s confidence comes at a critical time. The Cowboys are facing immense pressure to break through in the postseason after another early exit last year. But with key returners like Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb, plus the addition of veterans like George Pickens and Tyler Booker, optimism is brewing inside the Star.

“This is the best group I’ve been around,” Diggs added. “The chemistry, the focus—it’s different now. And it has to be.”

His words echoed across social media, igniting excitement in Cowboys Nation. Many fans remember Diggs’ breakout 2021 season when he led the league in interceptions. Now older, wiser, and more battle-tested, he’s shifting from highlight machine to vocal leader.

Coaches have praised his maturity this offseason, noting how he’s taken younger DBs under his wing during OTAs and now in camp.

“He’s not just talking about taking over—he’s acting like it,” one Cowboys assistant said. “That’s how real culture gets built.”

As training camp heats up, so does the urgency. And with Trevon Diggs setting the tone from Day 1, Dallas may finally be turning confidence into control.
