Stefon Diggsâ brother, a former UAB player, allegedly involved in elevator attack caught on video
The brother of two NFL stars was involved with an attack inside an elevator.
According to TMZ, Darez Diggs, the brother of Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs, orchestrated an attack on a man inside of an elevator at an apartment in Los Angeles.
Video footage shows a man getting out of an elevator only to try getting back in when he is confronted by a man who TMZ identifies as Darez Diggs. The footage shows two other men grab and beat the victim.
Police are reportedly investigating the May 29 incident, but no arrests have been made and the suspects left the scene.
Darez Diggs, who played in the XFL with the Los Angeles Wildcats in 2020, played college football at Morgan State and UAB.
As a junior at UAB in 2017, he appeared in 12 games with five starts. He recorded a career-high eight tackles at Florida and made first career interception against Coastal Carolina. He recorded 24 solo tackles and assisted in 15 more on the season.
