The Bengals followed up their selection of a franchise quarterback in Round 1 by getting him a weapon in Round 2. They did not expect Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins to be on the board at pick No. 33, but they were excited to add another first-round talent to their roster.
Higgins has caught 118 passes for over 2,103 yards and 25 touchdowns in the last 2 seasons. He has also drawn comparisons to Bengals’ wide receiver A.J. Green, which makes sense because Higgins says he models his game after Green.
