Pro Bowl is all in the family for Diggs brothers

The first Pro Bowl for NFL interceptions leader Trevon Diggs of the Dallas Cowboys means the league now has three sets of brothers with invitations to the all-star game.

Diggs joins Buffalo wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who made his second in a row and also was a 2020 AllPro selection. The other pairs are Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia center Jason Kelce; and pass rushers Joey Bosa of the Los Angeles Chargers and Nick Bosa of San Francisco.

The Pro Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 6 — the week before the Super Bowl in

Los Angeles — at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The younger Diggs, who has 10 interceptions and a shot at Dallas’ club record of 11 with three games remaining, shared a group video chat with his brother and about 15 family members and friends after the announcement Wednesday.

“That was real cool,” said Trevon Diggs, who’s in his second season. “Probably one of my favorite moments of this year, for real, because that’s my brother and I love him to death and just being able to go up there with him, that’s fire.”

Stefon Diggs, who waited five years for his first Pro

Bowl nod, said he was happier for his brother than himself.

“He was the epitome of just taking that secondyear jump, maturing as a player on and off the field,” Stefon Diggs said. “I was just more proud than anything. I knew he was going, but I still wanted to see it. I saw his picture and I saw his face, I saw him in the Cowboys, I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s my little brother.’”

It’s the third consecutive year for the Kelce brothers to make it. Travis Kelce leads all of them with seven Pro Bowls, followed by his brother (five), Joey Bosa (four) and Nick Bosa (two).
