May 9, 2025 | Dallas, TX — In a revelation that has rocked the NFL and stunned fans of “America’s Team,” Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs has come forward with a painful and deeply personal story: he was sexually harassed at the age of 18, and — even more shockingly — the alleged perpetrator may be a legendary figure within the Cowboys organization.
The 25-year-old Pro Bowler opened up about his trauma during an emotional sit-down for an upcoming documentary focused on abuse and mental health in professional sports. “I was just a kid trying to chase a dream, and someone I admired crossed a line I’ll never forget,” Diggs said, pausing at times to regain composure. “It’s haunted me every step of my career.”
Although Diggs has chosen not to name the individual at this time, credible sources close to the production have confirmed that the person in question is considered a Cowboys icon, someone who once wore the star and is still revered in the organization’s history.
The Dallas Cowboys released a short statement following the news:
“We are aware of Trevon Diggs’ recent comments and take them with the utmost seriousness. We are offering full support to Trevon and are committed to cooperating with any review or investigation into these claims. The well-being and safety of our players is our highest priority.”
Trevon Diggs has long been one of the Cowboys’ brightest young stars, known for his ball-hawking ability and electric on-field presence. But with this public disclosure, he now stands as a powerful voice for other athletes who have endured abuse behind closed doors.
Across the NFL, athletes and advocacy organizations are expressing support and demanding accountability. If the identity of the alleged figure becomes public, it could spark one of the most significant scandals in the history of the Cowboys franchise and the league as a whole.
In his closing remarks, Diggs said:
“It took me years to say this out loud. But I’m done living with the shame and silence. If speaking up can protect even one young athlete from what I went through — it’s worth it.”
