The Cincinnati Bengals turned a bunch of heads in Round 2 of the NFL draft with the selection of Clemson wideout Tee Higgins.
Higgins joins the fray in Cincinnati and looks like an immediate boost to the offense alongside weapons like A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd.
Here’s a quick, fun look at some fast Higgins facts.
He’s a Bengals fan!
Says they have been his favorite team ever since A.J. Green got there. "He plays with grit, his jump balls and body control are unbelievable. I actually model my game after him. It's crazy, I was just talking about this … now that this moment is here it's just surreal."

Have to start with this one, right? Higgins made it clear in a meet with the media that he’s long been a Bengals fan.
It isn’t often a collegiate player gets to join the team they’ve rooted for — but Higgins looks like a big exception. Now he’ll play a decisive role in whether his favorite team’s next franchise passer pans out and whether his favorite team can compete for titles.
