2015 Projections: Following a disappointing junior year, Whigham will start at corner where he'll look for redemption. Whigham continually blew coverage time and again last season. With his height and athleticism, Whigham has all the makings of a good corner. Whigham has hopes of making the NFL.

Money Quote: From syracuse.com:

"I want to play NFL Football. I think I have that ability. I think I'll get the chance. I'm really going to give myself the best opportunity to get drafted when that time comes, but I'm focussing on improvement. I've got to be a great college player first and foremost."
