Trevon Diggs' son Aaiden is already winning hearts in Dallas
Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs' son has made headlines since Dallas' Hard Knocks appearance this offseason. Aaiden went viral for his first-ever meeting with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott when he misidentified him as Patrick Mahomes.
In the clip on HBO's Hard Knocks, Aaiden can be heard saying, “So you’re Patrick Mahomes?” Aaiden was wearing a Prescott jersey at the time which made it all the more funnier for Dak. The Cowboys star responded by saying, “You can’t keep getting me and Patrick confused.”

The bond that the pair shares is clearly unique, and Aaiden simply loves watching his father intercept footballs for fun.
So far in his 15 games this season, Diggs has 11 interceptions, two of which have been returned for touchdowns. Diggs is tied with Everson Walls, who snagged 11 in the 1981 season for first place in Cowboys history for most interceptions in a single season. With two games to go, there is a real chance that Diggs could take sole ownership of the franchise record.
Diggs leads the NFL in interceptions, four clear of second-placed J.C. Jackson of the New England Patriots, who has seven.
Regardless of whether Diggs keeps up his high level of performance, his son Aaiden will continue to shine and bring joy to the millions of football fans across the world.
