For a moment, it looked like Clemson CB Nate Wiggins was going to have a big day. Instead, it’ll end in injury. After blazing a fantastic 4.29 40-yard dash during his first run at the 2024 NFL Combine, Wiggins had to be helped off the field by trainers after suffering an injury mid-run.
Initially, Wiggins told NFL Network reporter Stacey Dales he though it was a groin injury, believing he “felt it pop” in the middle of his run. After hobbling off the field, he returned to the bench minutes later with a more optimistic update. After being examined by trainers, he believes he suffered a hip flexor strain, a far less serious injury, and believes he’ll be ready for his April 6 Clemson Pro Day.
