Even though Dez Bryant was a wide receiver, he seems to be a really big fan of a current Dallas Cowboys player on the other side of the ball. Last week, we saw Bryant pumping up the crowd in a black Cowboy hat while rocking a Trevon Diggs jersey.

This week, Bryant was cheering on the Cowboys (and Diggs) via Twitter. This time, he tried to emulate his former teammate and current broadcaster Tony Romo by making some accurate predictions.

At 1:40 pm ET, the former receiver tweeted that he had a feeling that Diggs was going to get a pick in the Week 4 game.

Just 45 minutes later, the cornerback pulled in his second interception of the season off a pass from Carson Wentz that looked like it was more intended for Diggs than Jahan Dotson. After hearing lots of trash talk about being “boom or bust” in coverage, the 23-year-old vowed to be a more complete corner this year. He’s done exactly that.

This was far from the only exciting play from Diggs on Sunday. It was arguably his best game of the season. Diggs also broke up two fourth-down passes (three total passes defended) — one in the end zone and the other to seal the game for Dallas.

People are taking notice of how dominant Diggs is. Tasked with covering the Commanders’ WR1, Terry McLaurin only had two receptions for 15 yards in the entire game against the Cowboys CB. The impressive performance got Diggs recognition on Twitter from big names like Richard Sherman and Darius Butler.

The third-year cornerback is just one piece of an overall-incredible Dallas defense. Even though many are focusing on the pass rush, Diggs and the secondary deserve a ton of credit, too. And apparently, so does Bryant for manifesting picks.

How about this tweet from the Dallas Morning News Cowboys Twitter account? Hey, Dez. Can you tweet out that the Cowboys will actually make it somewhere in the playoffs for the first time in many years? Let’s see if that works.
