Rumors indicated the Cincinnati Bengals would go offense at the top of the second round, and after deciding not to trade down from pick 33, that’s exactly what they did.
The Bengals first pick after drafting Joe Burrow was former Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins. And now, much like in 2011, the Bengals go with a quarterback and wide receiver combination back-to-back in rebuilding their future.
What Higgins brings to the Bengals
While he’s not a burner, Higgins is a vertical threat with immense big-play ability. He was an incredible jump-ball receiver who could stack cornerbacks on vertical routes.
