|BlackJesus| Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I hope AJ reups to a 3 year deal (51 mill, 17 per) ... so him and Tee can be a dynamic duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 His ability to find the ball in the air seems pretty ridiculous, by looking at footage. Besides that, I know nothing about the kid. Hope he's ready to ball out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because every QB that played last year got hurt. Yeah, I wanted a Tackle, too, but I want a Right Tackle. There is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Higgins is freakish on contested passes...Corners are sought for Speed now..Receivers will be covered like a blanket more and more...Contested catches. keeps drives alive.. They might have a trade partner or sign a tackle yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 * Tee Higgins was a 5 Star recruit and the top prospect of the entire Clemson recruiting class in 2017 (one full of future NFL talent) -- which is saying something.

|High School Harry| Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Changed my mind completely 180 degrees from my original thoughts. Great pick, great addition to the team, Bengals fan and modeled himself after A.J. Green, worked out with Joe Burrow under Jordan Palmer's tutelage... Yeah, he's the guy. (how did he happen to have a Bengals cap handy? The the NFL send the top guys 32 caps?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacCurtis:TheReal#85 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I am warming to this pick. Have no issue with taking a WR over OT. I think Jones is a B/B+ tackle. OT class supposed to be strong next year. Get an A+ tackle to bookend Jonah. Sign Peters as a bandaid for this year. I wanted a trade down or Pittman. Pittman is bigger, stronger, and a better run blocker and can return kicks & blocked a couple. Did not want a raw WR (Mims). Wanted a guy who helps Burrow on Day 1. Higgins is #2 to Pittman on that score. Plus he has experience in the slot and wide, so he can lineup with any combo of our other top WRs: AJ, Ross, or Boyd. Pittman just a wide guy. And Higgins just turned 21, so he still may fill out some. And he is a huge Bengal/AJ fan. Seems like a great kid. Will help the culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take this to mean they think a long-term deal with AJ is unlikely for what they're willing to invest. You can say the same about Green over the past couple years. Green is going to have to play in at least 10-12 games before you even consider giving him a multi-year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing but a rag designed to promote individuals. Ever since Jimmy Vesey lied his ass off to win the Hobey Baker over a more deserving Kyle Connor I have no use for that crap. I hope Higgins is the real deal and an honest guy, but that site is nothing but promo pieces written by their publicist. There is a place for sports journalists in the world, and The Players Tribune is not journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
