3:15 p.m - His first time through the gauntlet drill, Diggs did not miss a pass and stayed straight down the line. Made it look easy.

2:45 p.m - Diggs continues to move through the drills and his footwork and ball skills are really showing out. The guys on the broadcast is asking if there has ever been a sibling covering a sibling in a NFL game. Rich Eisen and Deion Sanders are saying they would want to see Diggs matchup against his brother, Stefon, who plays for the Minnesota Vikings.

2:05 p.m - Diggs did not run the 40-yard dash, but he just went through the back pedal drill. He is impressing early. Most mock drafts have him listed as one of the top three cornerbacks taken off the board come April.
