Quarterback Jared Goff and tight end Tyler Higbee are linked.
They’re part of the same 2016 Rams’ draft class. They’ve worked out plenty together, not just at Los Angeles’ facility but also on their own. And they’ve roomed together in each of their first two training camps.
Not to mention a tight end is always thought of as a young quarterback’s security blanket.
So when Goff hit Higbee down the seam over a much smaller linebacker during 7-on-7 drills in Wednesday’s practice with the Chargers, it seemed natural. Higbee’s size and speed create matchup issues for defenses.
