Aaiden Diggs has come to be a team mascot of sorts for the Dallas Cowboys, the son of cornerback Trevon Diggs stealing the spotlight when he was so often featured being oh-so precocious on "Hard Knocks'' a couple of years ago.
And now he's at it again, at this year's NFL Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Aaiden confronting New York Jets cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner to put him in his place.

"You were trying to talk trash about my uncle (Stefon Diggs of the Buffalo Bills)! I heard you!" Aaiden said to Gardner. "And look what happened. He scored on you in that Week 1 game."
Gardner and the other players in the vicinity got a good as the cornerback respectfully responded by saying he didn't quite remember the details. (In fact, Stefon scored in that game but it was Michael Carter, not Sauce, in coverage.)
Nevertheless, the Pro Bowl Games - which could use a lot of "sauce'' and a lot of "juice,'' just got both, thanks to a sure-to-go-viral moment for the son of the Cowboys All-Pro dad, following up on his funny "You're Patrick Mahomes?'' meeting with Dallas QB Dak Prescott.
