The draft analytics community has defended and stood by Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins’ production and talent throughout this draft process.
Two interesting tweets were posted out by Pro Football Focus Tuesday with two interesting stats. The first tweet mentioned Higgins’ impressive production on screen passes the past two seasons.

This should come as no surprise to Ram fans who watched Higgins catch screen after screen from Garrett Grayson and Nick Stevens and then turn them into 50, 60 and 70-yard gains.
