2020 NFL Combine: Wide Receiver Prospects, Invites, What To Watch For

Rankings and what to watch for out of all the Wide Receiver prospects invited to the 2020 NFL Combine.

5. Tee Higgins, Clemson 6-4, 215 (1)

Why He’s Here On The List: This is what an NFL wide receiver looks like. Tall with a great frame, excellent smoothness, and with the production at an elite level to go along with all the hype of a superstar recruit, he turned into a devastating force over the last two seasons. In a draft – at least in the first round – full of blazing, smallish receivers, here’s your No. 1 target with size.

What The NFL Types Want To See: Just how quick is he? His deep speed and 40 will be good enough, and the scouts all know what he can do no matter how he works out, but the more sudden he can look in the short drills, the better.

Bottom Line: He averaged almost 20 yards per catch last season, led the team with 1,167 yards, and he’ll be ready to go from Day One. So what’s missing? Can he handle being beaten up a bit? He’s not the most physical of targets, but that’s nitpicking. He’s a first rounder, but an amazing workout pushes him into the top 20.
