. Tee Higgins. 6. player. 879. .

Tee Higgins is going to get a ton of hype, and there are quite a few reasons for that. He’s six-foot-four. He weighs 200 pounds, and that alone makes him a mismatch for almost half of the cornerbacks in the NFL.

He’s too quick to have a safety shadow him. He’s too big for some of the NFL’s cornerbacks to try and put a body on him. JJ Arcega-Whiteside was billed as the next Alshon Jeffery before he ever stepped on an NFL field. Maybe that was unfair and put a lot of pressure on Philly’s talented rookie, but in the case of Higgins, the term may actually hold more weight.

In 2019, Higgins hauled in 56 catches for 1,115 yards, and he scored 13 touchdowns for the Clemson Tigers, giving him 132 receptions, 2,396 yards receiving, and 27 touchdowns for his 36-game career.

He’s probably a day-one draftee come April, but if no one takes him in Round 1, he won’t be on the board long in Round 2. Circle his name on your draft boards. This guy is very interesting.
