After a promising rookie year with the Baltimore Ravens, former Clemson standout Nate Wiggins is aiming even higher in 2025.
Wiggins appeared on the Ravens’ “The Lounge” podcast this offseason and shared a lofty goal: 10 or more takeaways this year — whether via interceptions or forced fumbles.
“Just really get 10-plus turnovers, no matter [if it is] interceptions, forced fumbles. I need 10-plus,” Wiggins said. “And really just keep on [doing] what I did last year, just coverage wise, and be an all-around cornerback.”
To help reach that goal, Wiggins has made strides physically. He’s added 10 pounds since last season, working closely with Ravens Director of Sports Nutrition Sarah Snyder to bulk up and improve his strength. “I feel like this year is just going to be more power, more strength,” he said. “I’m still trending to gain more pounds.”
Drafted 30th overall by Baltimore in 2024, Wiggins gradually earned more playing time and solidified himself as a dependable piece in the secondary. He totaled 33 tackles, 13 pass breakups, one forced fumble, and a pick-six in Week 18 against Cleveland. He added six tackles and a quarterback hit in the postseason.
After a year of growth and late-season success, Wiggins is positioned to become a key figure in Baltimore’s defense moving forward.
