Philadelphia Eagles add cornerback Nate Wiggins

Philadelphia Eagles add cornerback Nate Wiggins

Philadelphia made significant changes to the coaching staff following a historic collapse that saw the Eagles lose 6 of their final seven games.

The positive vibes are back around the NovaCare Complex following the additions of Vic Fangio (DC) and Kellen Moore (OC).

It’s never too early to look ahead at the NFL draft, and with so many holes on defense, Howie Roseman has the assets to retool the roster.

Philadelphia has never drafted an off-the-ball linebacker in the first round, and they won’t this spring either, but Howie Roseman will reload in the trenches and could get a familiar name at cornerback.

The Eagles surrendered the second-most passing yards in the NFL last season (4,296) and undoubtedly will work to add to their secondary this offseason, likely at both cornerback and safety. Darius Slay is 33 years old, and James Bradberry will be 31 by next season.

Wiggins has good speed and excellent size for the position at 6-foot-2. He plays with a tremendous confidence and has a short memory in coverage, two essential skills for any corner.
