Tee Higgins and Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor spent time in conversation at Clemson’s Pro Day last month and there was an instant connection, a connection that now has Higgins paired with Taylor and former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow.
The Bengals selected Higgins with the first pick in Friday’s second round of the NFL Draft, and Higgins will now play for the team he grew up watching.
“Just getting a call from my favorite team in the NFL is surreal. Being able to call myself a Cincinnati Bengal is crazy,” Higgins said after the pick.
