The Baltimore Ravens added cornerback Nate Wiggins to their defense with the 30th pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He’s a player that should slot in immediately for meaningful snaps on Baltimore’s defense and a secondary that already has many talented players.
When asked how the practice has benefited him, he mentioned plenty of receivers who’ve gone up against the fact that he’s been able to learn something. He mentioned season veterans such as Nelson Agholor while also giving love to younger players such as Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, and Tez Walker.
“All the receivers – ‘Tez’ [Devontez Walker] – me and ‘Tez’ go all the way back to college – Zay Flowers, [Rashod] Bateman, all the receivers, ‘Nelly’ [Nelson Agholor]. It’s just good competition, so we’re getting each other better.”
Wiggins has incredible speed, a trait needed more than ever against offenses in today’s NFL. While his slight frame could be an issue at points during his rookie year, he’s already shown that he’s ready to be a professional, something that will only grow with time.
