Loser: WR Tee Higgins, Clemson
In one of the deepest wide receiver draft classes we’ve seen in years, any slip-ups are magnified. But not doing anything can sometimes be even worse than running something poorly. Higgins just flat-out didn’t run any drills, which in itself is a pretty big red flag here, especially given his pretty lame excuse of needing to rest.
Per @KimJonesSports, Clemson WR Tee Higgins not participating in drills or testing at the Combine because he is resting.

In what is the biggest job interview most of these prospects will ever have, claiming you didn’t have enough time to prepare and need to rest after a long season just doesn’t sit right. There could be an underlying medical issue at hand but you better believe every team that had an interest in him is now going to grill him over this.
While so many other wide receivers proved themselves at the NFL Combine, Higgins left far more questions and could see his stock plummet because of it.
