Power comes in many forms and has many sources. But what does it mean to be strong? We have a few ideas. Check back throughout the week for more.

Stefon Diggs cruises behind the wheel of his maroon Lamborghini Urus, a month after the Bills’ leading receiver signed a contract extension that guarantees him $70 million over the next six seasons. Riding shotgun in the luxury SUV is Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, whose big payday is sure to come soon thanks to a breakout 2021 campaign in which he had more interceptions (11) than any NFL player in 40 years. As is often the case whenever these brothers get together — and play — it’s best to sit back and let their relationship take center stage.

STEFON: Let me tell you the truth. (Points to Trevon.) He doesn’t think anyone’s that good. Even people I think are good! It’s a real DB.

TREVON: Some people are cool. [But] I don’t think anyone thinks, “Gee, he’s a problem. He is amazing. I can’t do anything with him.”

STEFON: I’ve never heard of such a scared, stupid s— bro.

TREVON: If you’re already going into the game thinking, “Okay, Stefon, he’s super nice, he can do this, he can do that…”

STEFON: That’s what coaches do, bro.

TREVON: Coaches really try to scare people. We will be in meetings and so on. And they say, “Okay, this piece here, he’s fast, he can catch, stay on him.” I’d say, ‘Shhh, it’s good. . .”

STEFON: That’s why I always say, he went against the dog before he saw the other dog. I was a dog long before that.

Elite sibling tandems are hardly rare in football, from the Mannings to the Watts to the pair (Jason and Travis Kelce, and Joey and Nick Bosa) who joined the Diggs in the 2022 Pro Bowl in February. Yet never before have there been two on opposite sides of the same matchup in a game – out on the island, mano a mano, receiver against cornerback – which perfectly sums up the essence of their rivalry. Thanks to their age difference, Stefon, 28, and Trevon, 23, have neither played on the same team nor ever met in a real game. But their fierce practice battles as youngsters in the greater Washington, D.C. area form the foundation of everything they’ve built as individuals since, with Stefon leading the league in yards (1,535) and catches (127) in 2020. , before catching a career-high 10 touchdowns last year, the same season Trevon tied an NFL record with seven interceptions in the first six games. “I think he’s the best receiver; he thinks I’m the best DB,” Trevon says. “So when we compete, we go against the best, and that happens to be my brother.”

Countless examples form a large part of family lore. Their older sister, Porsche, recalls a “really cool” family gathering that ended abruptly when someone broke a football and Trevon, then a high schooler, took the ball while guarding Stefon and then played in Maryland: “Everybody goes crazy, and Stefon is like, ‘Put that back! That’s never going to happen again!’ After that, the cooking was over.” An almost identical scene played out a year later, in April 2015, at their maternal grandfather’s memorial service. “They were still wearing their funeral clothes, just talking nonsense and competing,” says their mother, Stephanie. “I had to break off after an hour when it got dark.”

Over time, however, the tough love of their youth blossomed into a more tender, joyful relationship, best exemplified by small, sporadic, spontaneous moments during a 12-hour day of otherwise staged activities for a Sports Illustrated shoot. Like when 6′ 2″ Trevon, relieved from a series of one-on-one basketball games, wraps 6′ 0″ Stefon around the waist and gently lifts him, Dirty Dancing style, to fix a jammed net.

And later, at a favorite Jamaican lunch spot in College Park, near the Maryland campus, under the fumes billowing from a meat smoker the size of a nuclear warhead, the alpha dog quietly stretches his paw across the table and lets out a tiny noise from the tip of his little brother’s nose. .

Digging into a spread of jerk chicken, braised oxtail and beef burgers, the brothers turn their attention to the beginning. Asked how far their dog-eat-dog streak goes, Stefon replies, “We’ve been working on it since day zero, really, really.”

Stefon was almost 5 years old when Trevon arrived. “I was excited to…” says Stefon. (The brothers are two of Stephanie and wife Aaron Diggs’ children, but the fourth and fifth overall in the family, including Aaron’s sons Aaron Jr. and Mar’Sean and Stephanie’s daughter, Porsche). And while Stefon didn’t embrace every element of the big brother experience from the jump—Stephanie recalls his first and only attempt to change baby Trevon resulting in a backwards diaper—he clearly enjoyed having a tagalong opponent at every turn, whether in Madden , basketball or full-contact football with knees in the house. “I kicked his ass,” Stefon says.

STEFON: We competed in everything. But when I think about the competition I have with other people, I don’t care about them. I want to win by any means necessary.

TREVON: Competing with someone else and telling them to break a leg – that’s different. If I compete with [Stefon and] he breaks his leg, I might as well give him my leg, you know what I’m saying?

STEFON: I want to win. He wants to win. But it never, ever came from a bad place.

Trevon (left) tied an NFL record with seven INTs in the first six games last year, and Stefon caught a career-high 10 TDs.

In fact, that intensity simply oozed from both sides of the genetic tree. (Years later, in another famous family story, Stephanie, a longtime Amtrak employee, would corner Ozzie Newsome on a Northeast Corridor train and rip into the Ravens executive for not calling out Stefon: “You should be fired!”) But their father took over. is leadership from a football standpoint after each boy enrolled at age 5, quizzing Trevon on formations while watching their beloved Cowboys on television on Sundays and requiring Stefon to complete three tasks every night before bed: homework, prayers and 200 push-ups and abs. “My husband really pushed them to have a good work ethic,” says Stephanie.

Then, in January 2008, after a half-decade of health problems that boomeranged him in and out of clinical care, Aron Sr. died of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Fairfax, Virginia, still on the heart transplant waiting list. He was 39, Stefon 14, Trevon 9.

“That s— was fucked up,” Stefon remembers. “We were hurt. We were sad. Because he wasn’t just like a dad, he was also like a cool friend, a guy who can teach you a lot.”

Some of his father’s most important lessons proved impossible to convey before the end. After the funeral, Stefon often heard people tell him that he was the new man in the house, so one day Stephanie came home from a night shift with Amtrak to find Trevon on the couch when he should have been in class. “He said, ‘Eh, Stefon said I don’t have to go to school,'” she says. But very quickly — thanks to some stern lecturing from his mom about taking away his freedom — Stefon transformed “into more of a father figure and setting a good example,” says Stephanie.

Nowhere was this more evident than on the football field, as Stefon sought to carry on Aaron’s belief that boys were destined for NFL greatness and demand the same tireless work ethic his father taught him: Where Aaron led boys to run in the stands and commit suicides in local parks after school, soon Stefon was dragging Trevon to daily exercises. And when Trevon later expressed a casual desire to attend a specialized art high school, Stephanie remembers Stefon quickly dismissing the idea, insisting, “He can paint whatever he wants after he plays football and gets his money!”

That same protective instinct is why Stefon chose his hometown Terrapins in February 2012 over a slew of offers from more prestigious programs (including Ohio State and Auburn). That fall, Trevon started as a freshman at Wootton High School (Rockville, Md.), earning a two-way starting role on the football team. “Whenever Stefon was around at games, Trevon’s level of focus and intensity would increase,” says Tyree Spinner, Trevon’s coach at the time. Other times, all it took was the mention of Stefon’s name to keep Trevon off track in team meetings. “All I had to do was say, ‘Hey, I’m about to call big brother,’ and there was an instant bang,” says Spinner.

Looking back, Stefon says he never would have chosen Maryland as an only child: “I still regret it, just from [a] developmental standpoint.” But while his three seasons in College Park were marred by team-wide turmoil (four quarterbacks threw at him as a freshman) and personal injuries (broken right leg in 2013, lacerated kidney in ’14), he left after succeeding in one key components of his larger mission: to watch over Trevon while letting him see what it takes to fly solo.

TREVON: I was in Maryland every day, every weekend.

TREVON: In college. I’m [actually] in high school, ninth grade, going to UMD.

TREVON: And I feel like that probably saved me from trouble, being there with him. Look after me, he has his teammates who worry about me being straight. … I saw a lot of things that a lot of people my age didn’t see. And I never made bad decisions, I never made bad choices. I was just looking at him. I just watch and learn.

After appearing at wideout, safety and punt returner during his 2016 true freshman season at Alabama, helping the Tide win the SEC crown before losing to Clemson in the national title game, Nick Saban informed Trevon that he would convert full time to cornerback. Read also : CBS Sports: Bills ’Stefon Diggs is the fifth best WR in the NFL. Although the intent was to give Trevon more reps than he would have as part of a stacked receiver room — led by future first-round picks Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy and DeVonta Smith — he was soon on the phone with Stefon, sobbing.

“I’m in Alabama. . . out there, alone,” Trevon says. “I don’t have anyone to call who can relate. Except him.”

Until then, Stefon was no stranger to unexpected obstacles. He fell in the fifth round of the 2015 draft, sitting out two nights of drafts at home without hearing his name called; when the call finally came from vikings music, stefon was wrapping up practice with trevon at the stadium in maryland after getting tired of waiting. (With the 19th wideout, Stefon has since amassed more yards, catches and touchdowns than anyone in the class.) And then, after a strong rookie preseason, he didn’t even dress for a game in Minnesota’s first three games.

STEFON: I’m sitting on that pine tree — god, I had wood up my ass, boy.

TREVON: He had sweatpants on, he was eating sunflower seeds. I know my brother. I know how good he is. I see who’s out there. I know none of these guys are better than him. And it just hurt to see him inactive every week.

STEFON: Sunflower seeds and Gatorade.

TREVON: [But] he never looked back once he got that chance.

Of course, when injuries to two receivers opened the door for his debut in Week 4, Stefon broke out. After a Week 5 layoff, he had back-to-back 100-yard games in Weeks 6 and 7, the first Vikings rookie to do so since Randy Moss in 1998. And so, listening to his crying brother a thousand miles away, Stefon could empathize with by how Trevon felt. “Humble, we’re used to being men wherever we are, at whatever level we play,” says Stefon. He also knew what kind of tough love was required. As Trevon recalls, “He’s like, ‘Man, I’m not trying to hear all that cry—. Get to work.”

Swallowing his disappointment, Trevon settled into a new role, coming in early and staying late, poring over YouTube videos of Tyrann Mathieu, Patrick Peterson and other DB stars. Another tough lesson (and another tearful call to Stefon) came when Trevon, after earning the starting job as a sophomore in 2017, lost halfway through his first season against Florida State to fifth-year senior Levi Wallace. “I just really, really wasn’t ready,” Trevon says.

But he stayed true to his brother’s advice, overcoming a broken foot as a junior and recording three interceptions, eight pass breakups and two defensive touchdowns as a third-team All-American in 2019. In the process, he even flipped the script on their usual relationship, setting an example for change. “As he weathered those storms, it gave me a lot of motivation,” Stefon says.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before Stefon sailed into another sudden storm—one he described as a “dark place.” By that point, he had become a Vikings legend with the Minneapolis Miracle’s catch to beat the Saints in the divisional playoffs in January 2018. (Among those who witnessed the 61-yard, walkoff touchdown live was Trevon, who was attending his first NFL game.) Continued is to a five-year extension in the summer of 2018, joining Adam Thielen as the team’s first pairing. 1,000-yard receivers since Moss and Cris Carter. But then, just a season later, the Vikings’ offense switched to a run-heavy scheme. His goals fell, and several unexcused absences led to a $200,000 fine and a trade request. “The dark place was understanding where I was and who I was and what I wanted from myself, and that didn’t happen,” Stefon says. “Getting out of that place of [feeling] not enough and trying to perfect the problem, [I realized] I just needed a change of scenery,” says Stefon.

The change came in March 2020, around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Bills traded four picks, including a first-rounder, for the No. 1 receiver paired with running back Josh Allen. (“I don’t have a problem with Minnesota,” Stefon says. “I still have a lot of love and respect in my heart.”) It was a moment of intense joy, relief and culmination all together, the same one that awaited the Diggses less than two months later.

Tension hung in the air at Stephanie’s D.C. home. as the second round of the 2020 draft rolled on, an evening filled with memories of how much Stefon had faltered five years earlier. While Trevon remained typically sassy, ​​Stefon alternated between offering pep talks and belittling teams who dared to jump the little brother. “You could see it in Stefon, like, ‘These idiots don’t know what they’re doing,'” Spinner says. Finally, at No. 51, commissioner Roger Goodell announced Trevon’s selection to the Cowboys; sitting on the couch, the cornerback leaned over and sniffed Stefon, who gave Trevon a brotherly headbutt.

Despite the wait, the destination seemed strange for several reasons. “I thought it might be a blessing in disguise,” Stefon says. “He could have played for the Jaguars if he had gone in first.” Mostly, though, because both boys grew up big Cowboys fans, a devotion they inherited from their late father. Aaron Sr. fueled their football careers with a work-only, no-nonsense mindset, but the older brother took the beat that day to share the immense fulfillment he felt watching Trevon run.

As Stefon recalls, “Especially with everything we’ve been through individually, not just together, I wanted him to remember that, like, ‘I’m proud of you. You’ve come a long way. I used to wash and wipe your ass. I love you.’ “

Spend time around Stefon and Trevon and a few truths will crystallize. First, as with many close siblings, they speak their own language. (For example, in the Diggs Family Dictionary, common synonyms for interception include “pickles,” “picnics,” “picking cheese,” and “books,” as in reading an opponent’s route like a book.) Second, it’s Stefan who does most of the talking. “Tre is quiet but sneaky,” says Mike Locksley, Stefon’s offensive coordinator at Maryland and later a member of Alabama’s coaching staff for three of Trevon’s four years there. “Stef is the obnoxious, loud one.”

Just ask Wallace, the former Alabama defensive back who later, as Stefon’s teammate for two seasons in Buffalo, had to answer for taking over Trevon’s starting job. “When I first saw [Wallace], I thought, ‘How could they put you in front of my brother?’ I never forgot that.” Or ask the fellow Bills who caught Stefon over dinner one Sunday last October, the night before a Week 6 road game against the Titans, the same time Trevon and the Cowboys faced the Patriots on prime-time television. “The whole game, my teammates were messing with me because I was talking so much crap that my brother [is] the nicest DB in the league,” Stefon recalls.

The hype train continued to roll as the Buffalo contingent returned to their hotel in Nashville, where the TV in the lobby was showing the fourth quarter of what was then a one-point game. “I go in and say: ‘If he doesn’t have a book by now, he will come,'” says Stefon. Sure enough, moments later, New England rookie running back Mac Jones went wide of receiver Kendrick Bourne, and Trevon hauled it in and returned it 42 yards for a critical touchdown in Dallas’ eventual 35-29 victory. “I’m popping hella champagne,” Stefon says. “Like, ‘I told y’all they were going to get their hands on it.'”

Family ties aside, Stefon is only slightly more generous than Trevon when it comes to praising opponents — such is the confidence born of a lifetime of competition against one of the best in the world at the opposite position. “I told Tre a while ago, ‘Bro, 70% of the [NFL] receivers are going to be easy to check,'” Stefon says. “There are only seven to eight tight end receivers who can catch, can create separation, can run fast, can stop. . . .’” The elder Diggs is even more stingy about his coverage, citing only three NFL corners as “the only ones who really follow” No. 1 wideouts on a game-by-game basis: Xavien Howard, Marshon Lattimore and Trevon.

STEFON: I can go play corner. I swear I can.

STEFON: It’s s— not difficult. Because there are people who do their job badly. Trust me, I know. (Points to Trevon.) But that’s why I think he’s so nice, because he played receiver. I know he could play receiver in the league.

In the mind of the hive brothers, it’s man-to-man or mech. “If you’re just playing zone, you’re not that good to me,” Stefon says. “And he could be amazing in the zone. But it’s hard to play a man for four quarters.” For them, the attraction lies in the primal struggle for space and the ball – the same one that shaped them from childhood. “Like you and me on the street, together in that box,” Stefon says.

They still work out together every offseason and take to the basketball court after most practices to brag. “Spitting competition, he will still fight to win,” says Stefon’s agent, Adisa Bakari. “[Not long ago] they were both talking about buying golf clubs and debating who would be better.” But they no longer need to run against each other with such intense purpose. “We don’t have to do it all the time to get better,” Trevon says. Stefon adds: “It’s different. When we were together all the time, all I did was work out, all day every day, so we spent more time doing one-on-one things. We were just trying to guess. I have to be a little smarter.”

Instead they lead what Stefon calls more “tailored” discussions about their craft; like when, early in Trevon’s rookie season, he called Stefon for advice after learning he’d be shadowing Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in his first one-on-one matchup of the entire game. Stefon’s response: “I said, ‘Tre, if I can tell you anything, hit him and send him away. . . . D-Hop is the receiver of the possession. He can slide too, don’t get me wrong. He can run. But he’s not a blazer.” The results: Trevon held Hopkins to just two catches for 73 yards (with 60 of those on a fourth-quarter drive where Trevon ran into a pick).

Teaching is no longer limited to football either. Asked what mistake he made as a young professional that he wants Trevon to learn from, Stefon replies before the question is even finished, “Not having Florida residency right away [due to state income tax]. Lost millions of dollars.” At one point during the SI shoot, Stefon hangs up on a call with a jeweler friend and immediately begins advising Trevon on the benefits of cultivating relationships with retailers. As Stefon explains, their relationship evolved into being “more protective in different ways – not so much physically, more in making decisions, keeping your head up. He plays for the American team. That’s a big deal.”

They enjoy spending what they have earned themselves. Stefon describes how he was going through the process of selling his downtown DC loft and looking for a bigger house in the suburbs, where he needed a place to store his “hell clothes, hell cars.” And when the brothers arrive for the photo shoot, they each bring a suitcase full of designer clothes of their own choosing, plus a shared box of glittery watches, chains, belts and other accessories, including matching ruby ​​necklaces that Stefon bought after signing his second contract with the Vikings and a pair of jewel-encrusted spade pendants. But there’s a deeper reason why the elder Diggs’ curriculum now includes economics.

“Making sure you put some money away, that’s all I really care about, because that’s the only way you’re going to be able to take care of your family,” Stefon says. “Fortunately, we have two people who can.”

The boy sees a Lamborghini Urus and flies off the pavement, like a moth to a $200,000 candle. No older than 10, he cuts across the right lane of empty traffic at a red light in Northwest Washington, approaches the passenger side, and nearly shoves his nose into the open front window. “Hey! Hey!” he calls out. “What you do for . . .

A break. Epiphany. Bug-eyed scream: “BRUH! It’s Stefon Diggs!”

At the wheel, Stefon smiles and gently warns: “What’s up, kid? You better not walk in other people’s cars. You didn’t even know who was here!” Then he pulls out a wad of cash, peels off a couple of $100 bills, and hands them out. “Take your ass home,” Stefon tells the boy, now joined in the middle of New York Avenue by two friends of a similar age. “And share something with them.” The light turns green. Other drivers are honking. The children climb back onto the curb. An SUV speeds down the street.

And Trevon sits quietly, completely unrecognized.

Regardless of the rest of their career, a little brother can always be just that for some. But where Trevon grew up hearing the taunts of “YOU ARE! NO! STE-FON!” from opposing high school fans, has clearly stepped out of Stefon’s shadow thanks to a historic season that inspired Michael Irvin to describe Trevon as “Deion Sanders-like” and Primetime to publicly endorse Trevon’s bid for NFL Defensive Player of the Year . (Trevon finished fifth.) “The way I hear about him, people don’t even want to talk to me,” Stefon says. “They say, ‘You know I’m a Cowboys fan.'”

But the brothers are never far from each other these days, in part because they each have a child, both 5 years old, who is just like their uncle. “When I look at her, I’m like, ‘Wow, you’re acting just like Tre,'” Stefon says of his quiet daughter, Nova, who took a decent amount of coaxing from her father before she worked up the courage to tell Bills GM Brandon Beane—after Stefon signed a big extension in April—“Show me the money!” Her cousin, Aaiden, meanwhile, is part of Stefon’s chatty block. Stephanie tells the story of a birthday party Trevon threw last fall, where the boy marched up to Ezekiel Elliott and yelled at the rugged Cowboys running back, “Zeke, you’re not running hard! You don’t hit the holes very hard!”

Besides, brothers are rarely far apart in the literal sense; whether they’re training, traveling or hanging out at one of Stefon’s three condos he owns outside of Buffalo, they agree they’re together “nine times out of 10” every offseason. (Stefon says the rare recent exceptions are when Trevon joined his more adventurous brother skydiving in Los Angeles, bungee jumping in Japan, and sewing and pottery classes.)

STEFON: We’ve been away from each other for a long time and we don’t talk? It never happened. No way. Tre, how long have we gone without talking?

TREVON: I don’t know. That doesn’t even sound good.

One thing they talked about a lot was what it would be like to play on the same team, something they had never done at any level due to their five-year age difference. For Stefon, that “dream” faded in April when he signed an extension as part of an offseason gold rush for receivers. “I thought, yeah, that’s out of reach now,” Stefon says. “Maybe in the next life or something. I want to be done with the Bills and I’m pretty sure they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.” (Trevon’s response? “Who knows? I feel like that might happen eventually.”)

With the Bills and Cowboys scheduled to meet in 2023, the brothers will soon settle another hot topic: who will prevail in the NFL’s first brother-vs.-brother showdown, WR1-vs.-DB1. (The much-hyped role reversal during the 2022 Pro Bowl, with Stefon defending Trevon and former Vikings teammate Kirk Cousins ​​emailing them both, doesn’t count.) Consensus among family and friends: Break the flags, but also the tissues. “Stefon will talk a lot of stupid things because he wants to prove that Tre could never beat him,” Stephanie says. “But I think he’s also going to get emotional. Like, ‘After all my hard work, after everything I put into him, my little brother is here in the league, too.'”

Trevon, for his part, pokes Stefon; he’s waiting to cash in on all his little sibling karma—built up over the L’s over two decades in video games and sports—for one big win over big brother. “He said if there’s going to be a day he’s going to beat me, it’s going to be in the Super Bowl,” Stefon says in the car, before turning around and talking directly to Trevon. “I would be hurt. He would hold it over my head forever. No Madden, no basketball, it doesn’t matter. You beat me to that confetti? I might not even talk to you for a few years.”

More likely a day or two, at most. After all, no victory is thicker than blood—nor capable of severing a bond that can be measured in one blow.
