Everyone expects to hear great things about wide receivers like Tee Higgins and Diondre Overton. They are, after all, the prototypical wide receiver in football these days.

Higgins, a former 5-star standout, stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 200 pounds. He can go up and make plays on the ball and is fast enough to run away from the secondary on go-routes. Overton is 6-foot-5, 205 pounds and he too can go up and snare a pass out of the sky.

Despite all their raw talent, height, physical makeup and their potential to be the next Mike Williams or Deandre Hopkins, the two are still not the best wide receiver at their own position.
