Baltimore Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins said he's feeling better than ever after undergoing groin surgery this offseason.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins had an undisclosed surgery earlier in the offseason. He admitted that he played the last two seasons at “about 60-70 percent” health.
On Wednesday, when he spoke to reporters, Wiggins revealed that he feels better than he ever has.
"I just got surgery a couple of months ago, so I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt," Wiggins said. "I’m just seeing how I do, seeing how I feel. I feel great, moving great."
The Ravens cornerback revealed that the undiclosed surgery he had was on his groin.
"It was great,” Wiggins said when asked how his rehab went. "I had groin surgery."
Wiggins went on to say that his groin did not limit his ability last season, noting that he could still do everything he wanted, but he did say that he is moving much better now than in 2025.
Although he was not at 100 percent in 2025, Wiggins did not miss any games. He finished last season with 76 total tackles, two tackles for loss, a career-high three interceptions that he returned for 84 yards, and 14 passes defended.
Despite not being at 100 percent to start his NFL career, Wiggins has only missed two games. Both of which came in his rookie season.
In the first two years of his career, Wiggins has developed into a promising and reliable cornerback for the Ravens. He has showcased his elite speed and strong coverage since the moment he stepped onto the NFL field.
The 22-year-old started his career with rotational snaps, but ultimately earned a regular role and closed his rookie season as a trusted starter on the outside alongside Marlon Humphrey.
With Wiggins now back at full strength, the Ravens cornerback room is looking for a bounce-back season after struggling mightily in 2025.
The 2025 season was not a pretty one for Baltimore, and the cornerback room did not do itself any favors. They ranked among the league’s weaker position units as the defense gave up 23.4 points per game.
Entering the 2026 season, that room appears solid on paper but volatile. Wiggins can be the difference-maker.
With Jesse Minter at the helm now and new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, the defense as a whole will look to go back to being the juggernaut they were in 2023, when they achieved the triple crown, leading the NFL in points allowed per game (16.5), sacks (60), and takeaways (31).
The Ravens selected Wiggins 30th overall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Clemson. So far in his career, he’s tallied 109 total tackles, two tackles for loss, four interceptions that he’s returned for 110 yards, and 27 passes defended in 32 games.
