PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Wiggins is a long and lean cornerback known for his efficiency of motion and disruptive range. His searing closing speed and explosiveness, combined with his long-strider speed, make him effective against vertical threats. He has great foot speed and twitch, which are essential for short-area agility. His hinge fluidity and ability to recognize routes nearly instantaneously are key assets in coverage. Wiggins fits well in schemes that require cornerbacks to be adaptable, patient, and disciplined, especially in off-man coverage. His ability to track and high-point passes, along with his flexibility and length as a tackler, are notable.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Near Elite (70-74)
A near-elite prospect is a player who is projected to become a significant contributor by their second year in the NFL. They have elite physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level with ease and consistency. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically high first-round picks, and they have the potential to be stars in the league.
