There’s no one quite like Ed Reed to survey the field at free safety, but Quandre Diggs is getting noticed for emulating the Hall of Famer’s intuition.

The rest of the NFL noticed: Diggs made 2021’s NFL 100 list ranked at 77, only one spot behind teammate Tyler Lockett. Out of 1,696 current NFL players, 77 indicates a free safety at the top of his game.

Diggs finished 2020 with a record 5 interceptions, 64 total tackles and ten passes defended. As the last line of defense against those long touchdowns, Diggs will need to team up with Reed and fellow corners to stop Pittman and whomever else the Colts have in their arsenal.

If Diggs plays as predicted, the Seahawks have nothing to worry about, but the Colts will have plenty to fret over.
