Trevon Diggs got the call and is joining his big brother in the NFL.

The former Alabama cornerback was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 51st pick of the second round Friday. Younger brother was picked considerably earlier than star NFL receiver Stefon Diggs, the No. 146 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2015 draft.

Trevon Diggs was the sixth Alabama player taken in the 2020 draft. He joins Tua Tagovailoa, Jedrick Wills, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy and Xavier McKinney.

Diggs is the 10th Alabama cornerback drafted in the Nick Saban era and the first since Anthony Averett in 2018.

The Maryland product was on pace for a possible early NFL exit as a junior before breaking his foot midseason at Arkansas. He opted to return for his senior season in 2019 when he earned a few second- and third-team All-American honors.

Diggs intercepted three passes including an 84-yard Pick 6 against Arkansas. He also returned a fumble 100 yards for a touchdown against Tennessee.
