Stiff sounds a little harsh. He can’t snap off his routes like the smaller guys, but for a 6’4, 216 lbs receiver he moves pretty well. Also, I don’t think that matters much, because that’s not how he wins. I’d say the body control is better than fine, it’s outstanding. I like him a lot. Plus he’s still only 20 and has some room to grow. If he times well enough at his pro day I have no problem with him being a late FRP.

Vertical (34 - 35), broad jump (both 120), bench (20 - 22). Same height (6'5) and exactly same weight at the combine (266). Arm length as well (34 7/8 - 35 1/8). Hardly ever has a comparison been so smooth. WTF.... I went back to compare their ages during the draft and.. Chandler Jones - 2012 Draft Born: February 27, 1990 Yetur Gross-Matos - 2020 Draft Born: February 26, 1998 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warsawian Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I haven't spent a ton of time watching Tee Higgins but when I seen him one player came to mind and that was Mike Williams - USC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contested catch, jump ball catches Higgins is great, it's why I've compared him to DeVante Parker usually. He's not really agile in open space though. Haven't watched his route running specifically but RAC he is definitely stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember much about Chandler Jones coming out as a prospect. Reading some scouting reports side by side though YGM has the edge (no pun intended) in: Tackling Run Defense Initial Burst off the line Jones had the edge in: Hand usage Technique They do have a lot of similarities though.

I just don’t see the suddenness in his game to suggest he’d be good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
