The New York Giants are interested in bringing in one more home run-hitting offensive threat in this draft to join their already impressive arsenal of wide receivers Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, Golden Tate, tight end Evan Engram and running back Saquon Barkley.
One player they are interested in is Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins, a 6-foot-4 monster who could add an ungovernable dimension to their passing attack.
WRs Chase Claypool and Tee Higgins day they have met with the Giants. Not sure if it was an informal or at the Senior Bowl since formal interviews haven’t started yet.

Higgins is about to raise his draft stock a bit by displaying his enormous physical ability at the NFL Combine. Eyes will be opened and, combined with his tape, will jettison him up a lot of teams’ draft boards. Some scouts are comparing him to Julio Jones and A.J. Green. The Giants could use a player like that, no?
Tee Higgins brings a whole new meaning to the term “body control”🔥
Some notes on Higgins:
– 6’4” 215, but moves like he’s 6’1”
– Breakout Age: 18.6 (96th percentile)
– 19.8 yds/reception at Clemson (93rd percentile)
– 900+ yds & 12+ TDs in each of his final two college seasons pic.twitter.com/vuFZTjZBII— FF_Kyle (@DynastyFF_KyleM) February 17, 2020
Higgins, who caught a pass in every college game he started for the Tigers, met the media on Tuesday in Indianapolis and cited former Clemson teammate Dexter Lawrence — now a New York Giant — as a player he confides in.
Clemson WR Tee Higgins says Giants DL @llawrence2139 was one of his former teammates who gave him advice headed into the #NFLCombine, says Dexter is a clown and such a leader, was an important presence in that Clemson locker room

More ammunition for the “trade back” strategy with the No. 4 overall pick. There’s a ton of talent in this draft, so why not get a few extra high picks and capitalize? Oh, that’s right. Dave Gettleman is the general manager. He doesn’t do such things.
