Tee Higgins is a guy who makes his work look unbelievably easy. His body control is what stands out the most on tape. He’s unwaivered during his routes and weaves through traffic seamlessly. He highpoints the ball beautifully, paying no mind to the defender trying in vain to cover him.

Higgins became more of a threat once Trevor Lawrence was named the starter, though that’s not to say he’s nothing without No. 16. His fourth-down corner route against Syracuse was run perfectly and gave his backup quarterback Chase Brice plenty of room to make the game-clinching throw.

Higgins has a nack for finding the endzone, hauling in 12 in 2018 with his 59 catches for 936 yards. Though he’s shown flashes in the open field, thanks to his blazing speed, Higgins isn’t a premiere threat to break tackles after the catch. Though he stands 6’4″, he has a lanky frame at 200 pounds and doesn’t show the same toughness as a guy like Shenault. Regardless, the team that snags him in April will be happy with their selection.
