The CFL’s ‘most outstanding rookie’ of last season is trying to make history by being only one of four players in the common era to be drafted in the NFL without collegiate football experience.
At a listed 6’0,” 197 pounds, Stiggers is coming off a debut CFL season for the Argonauts in which he recorded 53 tackles, 3 special teams tackles, and 5 interceptions during 16 games in 2023—earning CFL East All-Star honors, in addition to his most outstanding rookie accolade.
He drew impressive reviews at February’s East-West Shrine Bowl game.

Make no mistake about it though, Stiggers isn’t just a ‘feel good story’ coming from our neighbors of the North, but a legitimate NFL cornerback prospect entering this year’s draft:
The story behind Qwan’tez Stiggers is fascinating.
Stiggers was attending an HBCU in 2020 when his father passed away. He dropped out to the depression he was facing.
His mother empowered him to get back into football. Went from the Fan Controlled League to the CFL.

Qwan’tez Stiggers. He’s talented. He’s well-built with decent length and speed but is instinctive and confident. He’s a legit NFL-caliber prospect. and I see him middle rounds https://t.co/S1Z9WSsTTs

The Colts could be in the market for cornerback help, as the team is seeking a long-term answer on the outside opposite JuJu Brents. Stiggers is an intriguing developmental cornerback, who could eventually develop into an impact starter at the NFL level.
