02Scheme fit
Ideal system

He's a near-ideal fit for vertical passing schemes that emphasize outside receiver play and contested catch opportunities.

X-receiverBoundary WR
Best role

Higgins projects as an immediate starter, capable of being a high-volume target and red zone threat with WR1 potential.

Wrong fit

He would be de-emphasized in an Air Raid or RPO-heavy system that prioritizes quick, underneath routes and slot receivers.

A big-bodied, athletic receiver with excellent ball skills, Higgins brings an immediate impact to any downfield passing game.

04The evaluation

Selected #33 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Clemson.
