IRVINE, Calif. -- Rookie tight end Tyler Higbee lined up on the outside for 11 of the Los Angeles Rams' snaps in Denver on Saturday. He was isolated on five of those. On two others, he was part of a trips formation. And on four others, he was stationed between two receivers spread out wide.
"I did that a little bit in college," Higbee said, "so it’s cool getting out there and being able to kind of create some mismatches, get a linebacker out of the box or something like that."
Higbee was a wide receiver through high school and during his freshman year at Western Kentucky, before outgrowing the position and transitioning to tight end.
