Another underclassman receiver has added his talents to a deep class or wide receivers. The latest is Clemson receiver Tee Higgins. He announced via social media that he is skipping his senior season at Clemson to enter the 2020 NFL draft.

— Tee Higginsâ” (@teehiggins5) January 15, 2020
Higgins, listed at 6-4 and 215 pounds, improved his production each year at Clemson. In 2019, he caught 59 passes for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also added a 36-yard touchdown run as well, his only rushing attempt in three seasons.
He could be a first-round pick.
He is one of the top receiver prospects in the draft, and the receiver class is expected to be very talented.
With his size and speed, he would make a nice addition to the Arizona Cardinals’ offense, but they have the eighth overall pick in the draft. As of now, it probably is too high to select Higgins and, when the Cardinals select in the second round, he probably will already have been drafted.
But as the predraft evaluations progress with the combine and interviews, we will see where he ends up in receiver rankings and big boards.
