The NFL has had its fair share of sibling stars.
For the longest time, Peyton and Eli Manning were among the league's elite quarterbacks; J.J. Watt and T.J. Watt terrorized quarterbacks coming off the edge; and, of course, who can forget about arguably the most famous NFL brotherly duo, Jason and Travis Kelce?
However, there is another pair of NFL siblings that have been making noise in the league for several seasons now — the Diggs brothers.
Stefon and Trevon Diggs have emerged as All-Pros at their respective positions. Stefon is the Bills' No. 1 wide receiver, flourishing as the top target for Josh Allen. Meanwhile, Trevon is a ball-hawking cornerback for the Cowboys, leading the league in INTs in 2021.
There is another Diggs that plays in the Pacific Northwest — Quandre. However, he doesn't share a connection with Trevon and Stefon like some NFL fans think.
