The New York Jets have selected Toronto Argonauts cornerback Quan'tez Stiggers in the fifth round (176th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft.
After his father died in a car accident in September 2020, Stiggers dealt with depression and he dropped out of college.
“I might not have gone the round I wanted to go in, but at the end of the day, I love that the Jets selected me," Stiggers said in a video call with reporters before adding a message to teams that passed on him.With all he has overcome to get here, it's tough to doubt Stiggers. He pulled himself out of school and worked several different jobs to help his family put meals on the table.His mother Kwanna refused to let her son not pursue them.
“I thank God and I thank my mom for signing me up,” Stiggers said. “And the sky ... I'm going beyond the sky now.”
