Tee Higgins

Tee Higgins college career stats may not jump off the page but that certainly could be due to the fact that Clemson was typically running away from their opposition on the scoreboard. Higgins posted only one 1,000 yard season, which was in 2019. He finished last season with 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns, with an average of 19.8 yards per catch which was good enough for 13th in the nation.

Higgins brings the big play ability with each pass he catches and he can take a simple slant route to the house, which is the type of explosiveness the Bills have been lacking on the offensive side of the ball.

Higgins is a player who can be paired with Josh Allen and help the offense in Buffalo thrive. His long reach on his 6’4″ frame gives him the ability to high point the ball on deep throws. He also has great body control that allows him to attack the football in those jump ball situations.

Higgins might fall to the second round if other blue chip players are on the board, but if the Buffalo Bills do decide to pull the trigger on the young wide receiver out of Clemson they will not be disappointed. Adding height to a receiver room, that was dubbed last off-season as the Smurfs, would finally give Josh Allen a receiver that can not only high point the ball, but has the reach to bully smaller cornerbacks at the line of scrimmage.
