Trevon Diggs didn’t pass the hustle test, according to one beat reporter, and the Cowboys star cornerback let him hear it.
While confronting Mike Leslie of WFAA in Dallas outside the locker room following the Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the 49ers on Sunday night, Diggs yelled at Leslie for posting on X, “What is Trevon Diggs doing on this play?”
The play in reference featured Diggs seemingly running at about 50 percent while chasing down George Kittle during a 43-yard gain that set up the 49ers’ go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.
After Diggs confronted Leslie, the reporter implored Diggs to “talk about it more,” to which Diggs replied, “Talk about Deez Nuts.”
The tone of the exchange, posted to X by @newyscruggs, was rather hostile as Diggs yelled outside the locker room before storming in.
“That’s what you took from that?” Diggs said to Leslie. “Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that? You don’t know football. You can’t do nothing that I do. You can’t go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop trying me, dog.”
“Just asking the question, Trevon,” Leslie replied. “I mean, I’m happy to have you answer the question.”
Diggs responded: “Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that? That’s what you got from that? Out of that whole play, that’s what you got from that?”
“We can talk about it more,” Leslie continued.
Diggs was not in a talking mood after the exchange, refusing to speak with reporters after the game.
Leslie posted on X to poke some fun.
“I do not have a comment about deez nuts,” Leslie said.
That play helped set the tone for the 49ers in third quarter, with San Francisco out-scoring the Cowboys, 21-0, to take command of the game.
The Cowboys now sit at 3-4 with a road game on tap against the Falcons.
