Shanahan-style outside zone is the ideal system for Higbee, capitalizing on his ability to block effectively on the move and create mismatches in the passing game.
Higbee projects as a Year 1 starting Y-tight end who can develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber offensive weapon with consistent usage.
A run-heavy, traditional power-run scheme that emphasizes in-line blocking over receiving would diminish his impact.
Higbee's versatility as both a blocker and a receiver makes him a valuable asset in modern offenses that prioritize athletic tight ends.
