CFL talent Qwan’tez Stiggers will visit the Texans before the draft.
The Houston Texans are searching outside of the box for a cornerback.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 has reported that Qwan’tez Stiggers, a star in the Canadian Football League, will visit the Texans this week as part of their pre-draft preparations.
The 22-year-old, who is eligible for the 2024 draft despite not playing college football, has gained notice for his outstanding accomplishments in other football leagues.
Stiggers, who took a hiatus from football after his father’s tragic passing in a car accident in 2020, returned to the sport upon his mother’s encouragement and made a notable impact in the Fan-Controlled Football League in 2022.
With a standout season for the Toronto Argonauts in 2023, including winning the CFL’s Outstanding Rookie Award, Stiggers has proven his ability on the field.
After his father died tragically in an automobile accident in 2020, Stiggers took a break from football. With his mother’s support, he returned to the game and made a significant impression in the Fan-Controlled Football League in 2022.
Stiggers has demonstrated his skill on the field with a stellar 2023 campaign for the Toronto Argonauts, which included winning the CFL’s Outstanding Rookie Award.
At 6-foot-1 and 197 pounds, he demonstrated his athleticism on his Pro Day by running a 4.45 40-yard dash. The Detroit Lions are among the NFL teams who have expressed interest in him.
Currently, Stiggers aims to make history by becoming one of the rare players in the contemporary era to get drafted into the NFL without any college experience.
