Tee Higgins should take a huge leap in 2021

Regardless of whether the Bengals select Ja’Marr Chase in the first round, they could have a true star at wideout next year.

ESPN’s Ben Baby joined our show to discuss the NFL Draft. In telling us why he doesn’t agree that Ja’Marr Chase should be the pick, he provided some great insight on second-year receiver Tee Higgins. Baby said:

“I think Tee has the potential to be a WR1. I thought he looked really good, and the thing is: he is really young. I talked to his old position coach at Clemson. I remember he told me right after the Bengals drafted him, they said, ‘His rookie year is not going to be anything like his second year, because he’s still so raw athletically.
