Baltimore Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins is one of the lightest players in the NFL.
Coming into the 2024 NFL Draft, very little was deemed as a flaw for Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins. The one thing knocking the Baltimore Ravens first-round pick was his light weight.
Weighing just a little more than 180 pounds, Wiggins is one of the lighter players in the league, but he isn't worried about his size.Wiggins isn't wrong, but college is far different from the pros. The athleticism and size of the athletes is at a higher caliber. That isn't to say Wiggins can't reach that, but it is a valid concern for some teams, and possibly why he slid all the way to the bottom of the first round.. "I don't look at it as much of a problem.
Ultimately, Wiggins will have to spend a bulk of the offseason, training camp and regular season to grow a little more in hopes of being able to keep up with some of the stronger receivers in the NFL. But if he's able to make that leap and maintain his strong football IQ, he will emerge as a cornerstone for the Ravens.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
