Higgins goes from ‘Wide Receiver U’ to another proud tradition in Cincinnati

Tee Higgins comes from a long line of talented wide receivers at Clemson. He carried on the tradition in Tigertown by tying Deandre Hopkins’ all-time touchdown record, which is also shared by another Clemson great, Sammy Watkins.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound wide receiver carried on the tradition of Wide Receiver U when he was selected No. 33 overall in last week’s NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. Higgins is the 10th Clemson receiver selected in the NFL Draft since 2010.

Guys like Hopkins and Watkins have had a lot of success in the NFL.
