Rookies (and Justin Tucker) hit the weight room
First-round pick cornerback Nate Wiggins was a slim 173 pounds at the NFL combine. He and his trainer explained that was because he was so nervous he didn’t eat, and he’s since gained nine pounds, according to the Ravens’ roster. Wiggins is used to playing around 185, but that’s light for a cornerback who will go up against some large receivers. The balance for him will be gaining strength without losing his speed, which is his calling card.
Draft profiles of second-round offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten mentioned his lack of power to anchor and to burst against defensive linemen and rushers.
