That sounds simple but sometimes you have great athletes out there playing WR who don’t really have the nuance/technique/skill to succeed at the next level. Higgins does. Spot on my man. Higgins is a technician and has the production to back it up. We worry too much about numbers and ignore what really matters...playing the game.

Thank you for posting this because I was about to post that very tweet. He just catches the ball so well and hardly ever even bobbles it. Who throws the hardest ball in the league? Arguably, it’s Josh Allen. That’s exactly why you need someone whose specialty is catching the ball out front with his hands. Tee Higgins can be that guy. Also look at Trevor Lawrence’s game. He’s a big time talent but he’s not a pinpoint passer. Big arm and big play guy but Higgins saves his ass a lot on accuracy. I’ve heard that could help someone, not naming any names of course Edited March 14, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1

I love Allen, but let’s face it, he’s an area code thrower on deep balls and that’s where a guy like Higgins could bail him out a lot. We already have our burner in Brown, but we need an area code, catch radius guy like Higgins now.

But can he run over the middle from the slot and block the DBs like a REAL TRUE NFL #1 receiver is asked to do so often? 2

He’s could end up going Late day 2 or Day 3 and has the talent to be a #1 WR in the league He definitely had some relatively poor QB play but he also just didn’t catch the ball when it was thrown well. Worst true catch % in the class and one of the highest drop %. Obviously a fantastic athlete though. 1

Because there was also a lack on his end.

Anything under 4.6 is fine for a WR, has great hands and is 6'4. Perfect fit for Allen. Edit: I should say under 4.6 for his size. Edited March 14, 2020 by BillsFan2313 1

It’s beyond hilarious how much people dislike Higgins. His numbers didn’t blow anyone away but they didn’t send up red flags either. His claim to fame is his play on the field and actually catching the ball. 2 1

Combine numbers do. Do some research, it's called google. Jerry Rice did not run a 4.73. Go look at his numbers when he played TOP programs. Got shut down for most part.
