Higgins’ second-round selection adds to Clemson’s mystique as ‘Wide Receiver U’
Since 2010, few college programs have had as many former wide receivers drafted than Clemson. On Friday night, Tee Higgins added to Clemson’s impressive list when he was selected No. 33 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Higgins is the 10th former Clemson receiver drafted under head coach Dabo Swinney.
Higgins ended his Clemson career as one of the top receivers in the program’s history, catching 135 passes for 2,448 yards, while tying the school’s all-time touchdown reception mark with 27. In all, he played in 43 games with 30 starts in his three-season career.
