Scouting Report: Strengths
- Although Wiggins is more of a possession target than a field stretcher, he fiercely competitive demeanor and run-after-catch ability make him a major threat in the middle of the field.
- Wiggins has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
- Has a tall frame and long arms, plus strong hands, giving him a huge catch radius.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and he shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Goes up high for jump balls. Good flexibility and reach to snatch back-shoulder throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Wiggins doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- He really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
- He also had problems with drops when coming back to the action. Wiggins has some issues against press coverage, sometimes spending too much time hand fighting at the line of scrimmage.
