Picking first to start an entire draft day happens to create a ton of reactions.
That’s the seat the Cincinnati Bengals sat in Friday to start Round 2. Zac Taylor and Co. went with the surround-Joe-Burrow approach with Clemson wideout Tee Higgins.
Higgins, a big-play threat, joins a big cast of weapons around Joe Burrow including A.J. Green, Joe Mixon, John Ross and Tyler Boyd. That’s where most of the reaction centered around — Cincinnati’s pursuit of a great developmental environment for Burrow.
Reactions from NFL players, analysts and some must-known stats were the prominent things to track after Taylor and Burrow got a new top option for the offense:
Burrow and Higgins is quite a spectacular start for Cincinnati

Tee Higgins is so damn strong 1-on-1. Amazing ball skills/body control.

Tee Higgins gets to play next to Better Tee Higgins (AJ Green)!

Tee Higgins had 27 career receiving touchdowns, which is tied for most in Clemson school history with DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins. Pretty decent company 😏

Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow did train together in California during the pre-draft process while Burrow worked with Jordan Palmer.

Oh, and one for the road Bengals fans might really enjoy:
Tee Higgins is a Bengals fan and A.J. Green fan. He may end up replacing him.
