Higgins started his collegiate career as a highly regarded 5-star prospect and the No. 2 wide receiver in the class of 2017, per 247Sports' composite rankings, and became a go-to option as soon as his second season.

His first year in the program was the only one the Tigers didn't reach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, and he helped lead them to the title as a sophomore with 59 catches for 936 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Clemson lost in the title game in his final collegiate season, but he impressed on an individual level with 59 catches for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller projected Higgins as a first-round pick at No. 22 overall in his post-Super Bowl mock draft, suggesting the Clemson playmaker "is the best big-bodied receiver in the class—at 6'4", 215 pounds, he has the ability to win over the top and in the red zone."

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com suggested the Clemson product possesses "cheat-code body control and ball skills when attacking downfield."

Giving the quarterback an easily identifiable target in the red zone and the ability to come down with contested catches even as someone who can beat press coverage will help Higgins compete for immediate playing time on his new.

Wideout wasn't a pressing need for the Bengals, but few will question their strategy of surrounding Joe Burrow with as many dynamic pass-catchers as possible.
