Claude Diggs brought old-school toughness and reliable downhill value to Richmond
In the 2002 season, Claude Diggs started 10 games for Richmond, rushed for 190 yards on 60 carries, and added 4 catches for 43 yards while missing one game because of injury[8][10]. Earlier in his Richmond career, he showed flash as a runner with 891 career rushing yards, 224 carries, and 3 touchdowns, and scouts noted his size-speed combo at 6-foot-1, 240 pounds[1]. The big differentiator: he profiles as a physical, contact-ready back/fullback who can grind, pass protect, and do the dirty work — a useful fit if a team wants toughness over glamour[1][8].
