Tee Higgins looks to be the next in line of great Bengals receivers.

Tee Higgins looks to be the next in line of great Bengals receivers.


Higgins hasn’t been there lately because of the eating healthy thing, but he was thinking of driving through Monday to get his usual.

“Double cheeseburger plain,” he said. “Large fries and that Sprite. That Sprite is ridiculous.”

That sounds just like something Chad might say, but Higgins looks like Green. The scouts say wait until you see the 6-4, 215-pound Higgins and their frames are head-shaking similar. And he has a lot more in common with the guy he calls his idol.

For one thing, the way they play. Higgins comes out of Wide Receiver U, where he tied the Clemson career TD record of DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins, but he watched them all:

Julio Jones: “When he catches the ball he’s just going to try and run you over or he’s just going to burn you with his speed.”

Amari Cooper: “He’s a finesse guy. He’s going to finesse you on his route. He’s going to get you in that double move. He’s a great route runner.”

Green: “He’s a jump-ball machine. He’s fast after he catches it. Yards after catch. His body control is unbelievable.”

“I’m closest to A.J.,” he said. “I think a lot of people can agree with that.”

So can KeKe Stewart, who broke the scoring and rebounding record at Oak Ridge High School, where Higgins was later named Tennessee’s runner-up in Mr. Basketball balloting.

If you want a scouting report on Higgins off the field, ask him who knows him the best and there’s no pause.
