In the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals made sure to get their No. 1 overall pick a trusty wide receiver to throw the ball to. That trusty wideout was Clemson’s Tee Higgins, who went on to compile 67 receptions for 908 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie.

Higgins had an impressive rookie season, so it was a bit surprising to see Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report pegging him as the Bengals’ breakout candidate in 2021.
