Stefon Diggs (WR -> CB)

Stefon Diggs is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL but when considering his ability as a pass catcher, it wouldn’t be hard to envision him lining up on the other side of the ball as a cornerback. He played defense in high school before going to the University of Maryland and in his senior year had 31.5 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, and one sack.

The move to cornerback also wouldn’t be too hard to envision as his brother, Trevon Diggs, is currently a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. He was drafted last year in the second round last year and started 11 games as a rookie.

While it is almost a guarantee that the Bills wouldn’t consider putting their star wide receiver on the defensive side of the ball and open him up to potential injury, he has the athletic ability to undoubtedly play the position.
