Alabama DB Trevon Diggs went in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and had some success with the Dallas Cowboys this season.
Diggs was the No. 51 overall pick in the draft, but it seems likely his former Alabama teammate, DB Patrick Surtain II, will be a first-round pick and perhaps even a top-10 selection.
On Wednesday, Diggs offered plenty of praise to his former secondary teammate, saying whatever team drafts Surtain is getting a heck of a player:
Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs with high praise for Alabama's Patrick Surtain: "That’s my little brother. He’s a great person, great player, competitive. Everything you look for in a corner.
"Hopefully, I don’t know, we’ll see. (laughs) … Whoever gets him is really lucky."

Sounds like Diggs wouldn’t mind having Surtain join the Cowboys.
Whatever happens in the 2021 NFL Draft, it’s likely Surtain won’t be on the board for too long.
