Tee Higgins

Overshadowed by rookie phenom Ja'Marr Chase much of last year, Higgins eventually caught fire down the stretch and recorded his first 1,000-yard season despite missing three games. He narrowly missed that mark as a rookie, providing the Bengals an instant return on the 33rd overall pick. Higgins didn't test well out of college — he skipped drills at the combine and then put up a 4.54 40 and 31-inch vertical at his pro day — but he's quickly proven that his prolific college stats (2,103 receiving yards, 25 TDs his final two years) weren't just a product of favorable circumstances at Clemson. Higgins doesn't have the issues with fluidity and change- of-direction that plague many wideouts his size, and the poor vertical jump hasn't seemed to matter when it comes to contested catches in the NFL. He was efficient as a rookie (62.0 percent catch rate, 8.4 YPT) and took another step forward in Year 2 (67.3 percent, 9.9 YPT), benefiting from his own progress as well as QB Joe Burrow's. Higgins even led the team in targets per game, with 7.9 to Chase's 7.5, and in the playoffs he added 309 yards and two TDs (both in the Super Bowl) in four games. The only drawbacks, really, are his lack of elite speed and the reality that he won't be the go-to guy unless Chase misses time. It's nitpicking, especially after the Bengals made big offseason moves to upgrade their offensive line.
