Toronto Argonauts rookie sensation Qwan'tez Stiggers had his pro day Friday at B.E.S.T Academy in Atlanta, and the results were highly positive.

So much so that the 2023 CFL rookie of the year has now lined up 10 NFL visits. Stiggers has an immediate visit set with the Houston Texans this week.

Of the 32 NFL teams, 29 attended Stiggers' pro day. Some teams sent multiple representatives to see the draft hopeful demonstrate his skills.

Stiggers posted a 36.5 vertical, 10'8 broad and a 4.45 in the 40-yard dash. The 5-foot-11, 204-pound cornerback left a strong impression on the NFL reps in attendance. The Cincinnati Bengals, who didn't attend, have set up a top-30 prospect visit for one of the most unique and improbable draft prospects in recent memory.

The Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons are said to be most interested in Stiggers, who will no doubt line up more visits in the pre-draft process.

Stiggers continues to defy the odds even after surprisingly being snubbed an NFL combine invite last month. A player who missed out on playing college football due to tragic family circumstances is trying to defy the odds by becoming only the fourth player in the common era to be drafted into the NFL with no collegiate playing experience.

At this point, It feels like it's an inevitable outcome.
