Nate Wiggins

Ravens CB Nate Wiggins said adding 10-15 pounds is his “number one goal [this offseason].”

Wiggins checked in at 173 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine, which created concerns about how his size would affect his transition to the pros. Similar concerns were made about Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes last season when Forbes weighed in at 166 pounds just months before the Commanders made him the No. 16 overall pick. Despite his success at Mississippi State, Forbes struggled through much of his rookie season and was bullied at times by more physical receivers. As Wiggins pointed out, he’s “only 20 years old” and “not fully [grown] yet.” His elite coverage skills while at Clemson popped up frequently on tape. If he can attain a more ideal weight while retaining his 4.28 speed, he could make life very difficult for opposing receivers in the near future.
