  12/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Stiggers will start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. With D.J. Reed (groin) and Brandin Echols (shoulder) both inactive for the contest, Stiggers will step in to make his first career start, working at the cornerback spot opposite Sauce Gardner. A rookie fifth-round selection, Stiggers has seen most of his action on special teams thus far in his career, as he's played just 12 snaps on defense through his first 11 appearances with the Jets.

Still only 22 years old, Stiggers is a legitimate prospect at corner despite the many unprecedented details in his profile. 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.
