An offensive and defensive competition at Woodrow Wilson secondary school in New Jersey, Diggs was the New Jersey player of Gatorade as a senior. THE Texas A & M Aggies won the battle for the four -star recruit. However, Diggs saw little playing time in 2020 or 2021. He was heading for more rehearsals in 2022, managing 3 bags and 5 plated for loss. It would increase this production with 11 stops for the loss and 4 bags in 2023, but would be transferred to Syracuse to the conclusion of the year. Diggs flourished for orange, leader Syracuse with 7.5 bags, 14 stops for the loss and 3 forced escapes.

The saints finally caught Diggs from the NFL recovery table to choose from n ° 254, only three selections before the end of the draft. Despite its late project status, Diggs could take a legitimate role in the defense of New Orleans. The new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley should use more than 3-4 concepts, which means that saints will need more athletic rushers along the edge. New Orleans has only obtained 17 combined bags and 27 plated for the loss of their advanced / defensive rushers last season. Carl Granderson and Chase Young come back as a probable standing rushers for Staley, but there is no skill proven behind them for the depth.
Registered at 6 feet 4 inches and 257 pounds, the speed out of the edge is a Diggs force. Diggs will compete against the Recruit not drafted Jasheen Davis, Jonah Williams and the disappointing choice of the recovery of 2023 Round 2 Isaiah Foskey for representatives at the post. If he can improve his instinct against the race and extend his rush movements to the passes to create constant pressure, Fadil Diggs could be a late flight for a defense of saints in search of a young and disruptive force.
