Nobody can ever accuse Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed of lacking confidence, something he recently showed quite clearly when he was asked about Tennessee's division rivals and some of their best players.

During an appearance on "The Pivot" podcast, one of the hosts, Jacksonville Jaguars great, Fred Taylor, told Sneed he heard that wide receiver Stefon Diggs specifically called the Houston Texans hoping to get traded there so he could be in the same division as Sneed so the cornerback couldn't "run away from him."

It's likely that Taylor was just messing around with Sneed, but he responded exactly how you'd expect him to.

"I'm ready for it," Sneed said of Diggs. "I'm glad he made that call... Diggs knows what's up."

He was also asked about Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who Taylor called a "young Pat" Mahomes, something Sneed took issue with.

"(Stroud's) not like Pat," Sneed said. "I respect his game, he's got some game, but I'm not worried about none of that right now. None of it. They'll see me."

The Indianapolis Colts didn't come up in the discussion, but Sneed was asked about going to Duval to take on the Jaguars.

"I'm not worried about Duval, neither," he said. "I ain't worried about none of that. They better be worried about us."

The last time Sneed and Diggs squared off was in Week 14 of last season. In that game, Sneed lined up across from Diggs on 23 of his 35 routes and surrendered just one reception for three yards on five targets.

It would appear Diggs needs to be worried about Sneed, and not the other way around.
