    Tennessee Titans' Quandre Diggs has strong message for the doubters

    Quandre Diggs is the latest player to be added to the Tennessee Titans ’ roster for the 2024 season. The veteran defensive back officially signed with the Titans on Tuesday and attended his first practice on Wednesday.

    The three-time Pro Bowler reunites with old teammate Jamal Adams in Nashville and gives the Titans’ secondary even more starting talent, depth and experience.

    Diggs is now on the other side of 30, which is an age where some start to doubt one’s abilities. However, Diggs made it clear in his introductory presser that he hasn’t lost a step.

    "There's no 'stage' of my career," Diggs said, per Jim Wyatt . "I'm 31. People act like you get to 30 and you can't play dead. I play well. I do all the things that you need me to do. I go get the football, I have been very consistent in that, top 10, top 5, in the last however many years. I go get the football.”

    The veteran acknowledged that Nashville “definitely was the best place” for him to be, and praised new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson.

    “I have friends that (Wilson) coached who have spoken highly of him,” Diggs explained. “It's one of those things that worked out – he wanted me here, and I wanted to be here also.”

    Diggs is entering his 10th season in the NFL, but he’s just as hungry as ever to compete.

    "I tell everybody this: I was a sixth-round pick, 200(th overall)," Diggs said. "I've always had a chip on my shoulder. I've always felt the things that I do, nobody expected me to do. But I expected it of myself. I am here to compete, and I am here to work."

    The DB collected a career-high 95 tackles in 2023 and added five passes defensed and an interception. Diggs joins a much-improved group of safeties in Nashville that also includes Jamal Adams, Amani Hooker, and Elijah Molden.
