Remember When: A Family Dispute Brought Na’il Diggs to Ohio State
Diggs entered Signing Day expecting to attend USC, but after a family dispute altered his plans at the last minute, he signed with Ohio State instead.
Diggs appeared in 37 games over three seasons with the Buckeyes, developing into an All-American as a junior in 1999. That season, he led Ohio State with 94 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, six sacks and three forced fumbles. He recorded a career-high 14 tackles against Wisconsin and a career-high four tackles for loss against Miami in the Kickoff Classic.
Diggs entered the NFL draft in 2000 and became a top-100 selection when the Packers chose him with the No. 98 overall pick in the fourth round. He appeared in 170 games during a 12-year NFL career, recording 679 tackles, 71 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 33 pass breakups.
