Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: New York snatches at end of Round 5
Rotowire
The Jets selected Stiggers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 176th overall.
Stiggers had to take an unorthodox path to the NFL due to life circumstances that prevented him from playing college football in the USA, but after a long story he managed to draw the interest of the CFL, where he won the equivalent of its Rookie of the Year award.

At 6-feet, 204 pounds, it will be interesting to see if Stiggers gets some looks at safety, but he otherwise profiles as a heavy corner.
