The Philadelphia Eagles are need of explosive players on offense and the 2020 NFL Draft will play host to the best set of wideouts to enter the leagues in a long time.
The Eagles have mentioned with names like Justin Jefferson from LSU, Henry Ruggs III from Alabama and most often, one dynamic skill player from Clemson.
In the latest 2020 NFL mock draft from USA Today, Carson Wentz gets the weapon he needs when Clemson star wide receiver Tee Higgins, falls to the Eagles at pick No. 21.
21. Eagles — Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson: The necessity for the Eagles to upgrade Carson Wentz’s receiving corps was evident long before Philadelphia wound down the season with a skeleton crew of pass-catchers. The simple solution: Let Higgins go to work on the outside and increase Wentz’s margin for error with his jump-ball skills.
Higgins can get it done through the air and on the ground as seen here against LSU on Monday night.

During his final season at Clemson, Higgins caught 59 passes for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns.
At 6-foot-4, 215-pound Higgins would provide the Eagles with a playmaker who has the size of Alshon Jeffery but the big-play ability of DeSean Jackson.
Last season at Clemson, Higgins averaging 19.8 yards per receptions. If you add on the lineage of Tiger stars in the NFL like DeAndre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, and Mike Williams, Higgins should have no problem continuing the strong receiver play in the pros.
