Cincinnati Bengals: 3 receivers to target in the 2020 NFL Draft
By Steve Rivera
Tee Higgins from Clemson is the real deal, and if he’s a player available to the Cincinnati Bengals come the 2020 NFL Draft, they should grab him while they can.
Higgins is interesting in that he isn’t playing in a marquee conference. He’s not in the SEC or the BIG-10, who typically receive a ton of attention from surrogates like ESPN. Instead, the wide receiver plays in the ACC, on the best team in that conference, and oh yes, the reigning champion of college football. You would think that would be enough, right?
Wrong.
Higgins is a player that will change the dynamic of an NFL team. When Cincinnati selects in the second round, Higgins would be an absolute steal and a game-changer in Cincinnati. So much so, that the Bengals can actually have a legitimate claim to the kind of building blocks that sustain an organization beyond talking points at training camp.
Higgins has all the measurables. He is 6’-4” and weighs in at 215lbs. His projected 40-time is 4.55. His length suggests he would be valuable for a team that struggles in the red zone.
Bottom line, the receiver from Clemson would make a rookie quarterback like Joe Burrow better on Day One. If he’s there for the Bengals, Cincinnati should takes him, and get better immediately.
