Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins, a former student at Grady HS and Westlake HS, has made headlines for his impressive performance at the NFL Combine, where he clocked a 4.29 in the 40-yard dash, though he has run as fast as 4.27 in training. Wiggins, who stands at 6-2 and weighs 185 pounds, has a notable college career at Clemson with 50 tackles, 24 pass breakups, three interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), two forced fumbles, a sack, and a blocked field-goal attempt over 34 games and 1,377 career snaps. His speed and performance have been a significant part of his success, attributed in part to the mentorship from Falcons DB AJ Terrell. However, Wiggins' Combine was cut short due to a groin injury, initially thought to be a hip flexor injury, sustained after his run, described as a 'pop' in his groin, leading to concerns about his immediate future.

After that blistering 4.29 unofficial 40 for Nate Wiggins, he came off the field limping. He told me it was his groin, said it “feels like it popped” and felt like it was “on fire”. Hope he recovers quickly. And BTW, he wasn’t particularly satisfied with the 4.29. Wanted a 4.2.
