A video of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs and other defenders talking trash to quarterback Dak Prescott at training camp went viral earlier this week.

On Thursday, Diggs downplayed the incident and said he has no issues with Prescott.

"I feel like it makes practice fun," Diggs said, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "At the end of the day, that's my brother. I love Dak to death. There's nothing behind it. It's just competitiveness; it's just football."

Videos showed Diggs telling Prescott to "shut your b---h ass up" after a play at camp.

Diggs said he has a lot of respect for Prescott.

"Stay out of our business," the defensive back said. "People don't need to worry about what we got going on, our relationship, my relationship with my brother. Dak is the leader of our team. He's going to go out there and have a great year. I have the utmost respect for Dak."

Prescott has started 97 games for the Cowboys since being drafted in the fourth round in 2016. Diggs joined Dallas as a second-round pick in 2020 and has racked up 17 career interceptions, including a league-high 11 in 2021. He recently signed a five-year extension worth $97 million.
