New England Patriots veteran Stefon Diggs has been one of the NFL’s top wide receivers this season. For Diggs, though, he is one of the few NFL players to have family in the NFL.
He has made it known that his own family has always played a big role in his life, even before he became a Pro Bowl player. From growing up in Maryland to having a brother in the NFL, Diggs’ story is just as much about family as it is about his football success.
How Many Siblings Does Stefon Diggs Have?
Stefon Diggs has four siblings: two brothers and an older sister. Their names are Trevon Diggs, Darez Diggs, Aron Diggs Jr., and Porsche Green. The Diggs family is very close, and their mother, Stephanie, is often seen at games cheering for her sons.
Stefon’s younger brother, Trevon Diggs, is the other NFL star of the family. Trevon plays cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. The 27-year-old cornerback has made a name for himself on defense, but his bond with Stefon has always been important to his growth.
When their father, Aron Diggs Sr., died in 2008, Stefon became a family leader at a young age. Many people say he was like a father figure to Trevon. Their strong bond continues in the NFL, where they’re known to compete against each other.
Another brother, Darez Diggs, also pursued a football career. He played college football at UAB and then at Morgan State, where he was known as Mar’Sean Diggs. Even though Darez didn’t make it to the NFL, his story also shows a lot of grit in playing college football at an FBS school.
Aron Diggs Jr. is Stefon’s older brother from his father’s side, and Porsche Green is his older sister from his mother’s side. They aren’t in the football spotlight, but both have been important supporters for Stefon during his career.

Diggs attended Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, where he played football.
After high school, the receiver was a five-star recruit and was widely seen as the second-best wide receiver prospect in the country. He received scholarship offers from Florida, USC, Ohio State, and others, but decided to stay close to home and committed to the University of Maryland.
In the 2015 NFL Draft, Diggs was picked in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, he has played for the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and now the New England Patriots. This weekend, he will play in his first career Super Bowl.
