2024 NFL draft: Bills host non-college player prospect Qwan’tez Stiggers on visit

A neat story:

Cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers is certainly one of the most intriguing prospects that could be selected at the 2024 NFL draft and he’s on the radar of the Buffalo Bills.

Stiggers, 22, did not play college football.

According Aaron Wilson from KPRC2, the Stiggers was in Buffalo on a pre-draft visit:

Previously Stiggers played at Lane University but dropped out following father’s death. He previously attended the  B.E.S.T. Academy in Georgia.

More recently he played indoor football and then ended up in the CFL with the Toronto Argonauts. Now he has caught the eyes of NFL teams and here we are.

He recorded five interceptions in his first season with the Argonauts and won the Most Outstanding Rookie Award.

Not a bad rise and the Bills have interest. Stiggers could end up being a Day 3 selection where Buffalo currently hold eight of their 10 selections in the draft.

Broncos host intriguing draft prospect with no college experience

Qwan’Tez Stiggers is a rare draft prospect with no college experience. He played in the FCF and CFL before getting looks from NFL teams.

The Denver Broncos brought in Toronto Argonauts cornerback Qwan’Tez Stiggers for a pre-draft visit last week, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

The Broncos were also among 29 NFL teams who attended the defensive back’s personal pro day in Atlanta last month. After impressing at his workout, Stiggers is now visiting multiple teams leading up to the NFL draft.

Stiggers (5-11, 204 pounds) is an intriguing prospect because he has no college experience. He was set to attend Lane College in 2020 but dropped out following his father’s death. The defensive back later played in the Fan Controlled Football league in 2022 and caught the attention of the CFL.

The Argonauts signed Stiggers in 2023 and he had a breakout year in his first season, winning the CFL’s Most Outstanding Rookie Award after recording five interceptions. He was also named a CFL East All-Star.

At his pro day last month, Stiggers ran a 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds. The CFL has agreed to release Stiggers from his contract if he’s selected in the NFL draft. The 22-year-old cornerback is considered a late-round prospect, but his best bet to reach the NFL might be as an undrafted free agent. The draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.

Dolphins hosting CFL Rookie of the Year for an NFL draft top-30 visit

Miami hosts CFL CB for pre-draft visit.

The 2024 NFL draft is less than a month away, so all 32 teams, including the Miami Dolphins, are beginning to have some prospects in for pre-draft visits to get to know about them before they have a chance to select them.

On Friday, NZone Sports Management Agency announced that their client, cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers, will visit the Dolphins on April 1.

Stiggers, 22, played Fan Controlled Football in 2022 before signing with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League for 2023.

In 16 regular season games for Toronto, Stiggers recorded 56 total tackles and five interceptions. He was named an All-Star and the CFL’s equivalent of the Rookie of the Year.

According to Sports Illustrated, 29 teams attended his solo Pro Day.

Miami will likely be looking for secondary depth in this year’s selection process, so it wouldn’t be surprising at all for Stiggers to end up in South Florida after the seven-round event’s completion.
