Trevon Diggs was heated on Sunday night, and he didn’t hesitate to confront a local reporter in the back hallways of Levi’s Stadium.
Diggs, shortly after the Cowboys fell 30-24 to the San Francisco 49ers, came out of the locker room to confront WFAA’s Mike Leslie over a post that he published on social media during the game. Diggs was still in his pads, so he must’ve seen the post immediately upon entering the locker room.

Leslie addressed the interaction briefly on social media.
