6. WR Tee Higgins, Clemson

There were plenty of wide receivers taken on Thursday night, but there are still teams that will want to add talent at the position. Clemson’s Tee Higgins is just one of the many available wideouts that will be available on day two.

Higgins has been compared to A.J. Green, as he plays to his long frame time and time again. A remarkable 20 percent of his catches for the Tigers turned into touchdowns, even though he played in all three spots as a wide receiver. That versatility should make Higgins a great target for any NFL team, with his size a tool to create mismatches at will.

With Clemson, Higgins had his best season in 2019 as a junior. He led the team in receiving yards (1,167 yards) while tallying 59 catches for 13 TDs. Those numbers earned him first-team All-ACC recognition. Higgins finished his collegiate career tied with NFL stars DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins for the school receiving touchdowns record with 27. He should put up great NFL numbers as a true No. 1 option and red zone threat.
