is diving tackle worth having for a pass rush DE?

I don't think so either, BUT twice this season, my pass rush DE( that did get lots of sacks) had "missed diving sack" by his name. I had never seen that before this season. I have no idea if diving tackle would have turned those into made sacks.

Diving tackle would give any player a larger tackle radius, the size of which is determined by jumping and efficacy by tackling, against any runner or receiver including scrambling qb's behind the line of scrimmage.
It's not that it won't work... it's that there's probably better stuff out there for that archetype. I would address those first and add diving tackle last if possible.
