The stress reaction in cornerback Cody Riggs’ foot is improving, per Kelly, and the grad student cornerback should see increased playing time Saturday.

Riggs, a starter for most of the season, missed the Arizona State game on Nov. 8 and shared time with sophomore Devin Butler this past Saturday against Northwestern.

thats great that he got healthy in time to make the visits and show teams what he can do in workouts after his injury riddled pro day

If Bennet Jackson could get drafted, Riggs should find an NFL roster. Probably a dedicated slot guy but he's too good of a player to not find a spot. I'm still blown away that he didn't get a combine invite.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Riggs is smart enough to play nickel corner, what kills him is his size (or lack thereof). But I think his heart wins out and he at least makes a training squad.

Riggs should make a roster. He can be the Nickle DB and play core special teams. He is vertically challenged, but he makes up for that with smarts and quick feet.

Nickel corners are in great need, especially if they can break on the ball, tackle, and punt return. He (Riggs) should find a roster spot no problem so long as he plays the position physical and contributes on special teams.

1. Can break on the ball. Check, his quick feet and reaction got him a pick in the Michigan game.
2. Physical. Check, when he played safety at Florida the kid laid the wood.
3. Punt return. Check, did well this past year.

I really think this guy will find a home somewhere in the NFL. Very good football player.

This. Would have liked to have him at ND for 4+ years!

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Thankful to have him for a season, but also aware that he's a 53-man roster guy in a slot/rotational DB position in the league. Wish him and his the very best moving forward.

 

[dublinirish]

nickel backs are always on the field in NFL defenses these days, i reckon he has a good chance

I thought everyone hated Nickelback

 

[connor_in]

Worst case scenario...gives it a go...doesn't work out NFL-wise (but I think he has a decent shot)...then goes plan B, ND graduate degree and connections gets him a good job and still a good life

One of those bands that everyone claims to hate but somehow still sells millions of records and sells out concert date after concert date. I don't have a problem with them because I take them for what they are; fun, crank-it-up junk food rock music. It ain't all got to be Mozart.

Oh, and I think Riggs has a fair shot to make a NFL roster. Good luck to him.

The lead singer had a pretty sweet mane.

2015 NFL draft: Potential impact undrafted free agents - NFL - SI.com

•​ Cody Riggs, CB, Notre Dame: Riggs spent four years at Florida before transferring to Notre Dame as a fifth-year senior in 2014, and that kind of high-profile background has brought him valuable tutelage from three different defensive coordinators with NFL experience: Falcons head coach Dan Quinn and Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin at Florida, and former Falcons DC Brian VanGorder at Notre Dame. He’s a known quantity by enough people in the league to get a shot somewhere, and though small by NFL standards (5'9", 187 pounds) his best shot to stick will be as a team’s fourth or fifth cornerback who can contribute heavily on special teams.

Riggs had individual workouts this spring for cornerback-needy clubs like the Patriots and Dolphins, and whoever lands him will be getting a mature 23-year-old who started at Notre Dame last season, where he transferred in order to pursue a graduate degree in business management. (He’s scheduled to complete his course work this week, just before Thursday’s first round commences.) Riggs struggled with a foot injury in the second half of last season, and a hamstring issue limited him somewhat at his pro day, but he’s healthy now and most likely will be a priority target early on in the collegiate free agent signing frenzy.

I wish we had that kid his whole career. Loved his play style ad swagger.

 

[NDdomer2]

sucks to not hear your name called during draft but awesome that he is going to get his chance.

More awesome that he is completing his graduate work!

 

[bkess8]

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tennessee Titans today.

 

[edgesofsanity]

Good spot for him. Tennessee needed a CB and didn't draft one.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Survived final cuts, made Tennessee Titans 53 man roster as their 5th CB and backup nickel.

He also became the first undrafted cornerback to make the initial 53-man roster in the Titans era.

Not too shabby. Well done, Cody!
