Today, the Kansas City Chiefs brought in James Wiggins for a workout after being released by the Cardinals last week, the former Cardinals 7th round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft had found a new home after a great workout the former Bearcat standout finds himself a new home as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad.
Wiggins had a stellar career as a Bearcat where he was named a first team All-American by the Athletic, 2nd Team AP All-American. During Wiggins standout senior season in 2020 he overcame a season ending ACL injury the season prior in 2019, but bounced back and showed why he was one of the top defensive backs in all of college football, as he was a Thrope Award Semifinalist, which is given to the best defensive back in the nation, He was also tabbed to the first team All-AAC after finishing his senior season with 32 tackles, one interception, and a forced fumble. Wiggins has been a key vocal point in the development of the defensive backs as himself and guys like Darrick Forrest really set the tone for the Bearcats defense over the last few seasons and played key roles in development in guys like Sauce Gardner, Coby Bryant, Bryan Cook, who all joined Wiggins in the Bearcat secondary during the 2020 season where the Bearcats would make their first New Year’s 6 bowl game since the 2009 Sugar Bowl.
Congratulations to the former Bearcat standout and special teams’ guru James Wiggins on taking the next step of his NFL Career where he joins former Bearcat Bryan Cook out in Kansas City, as the former Bearcats safety duo will look to take the NFL by storm in the future.
