Tee Higgins…. Steelers have Interest

realistic. He relies on his size for most of his production. He lacks short area quickness to run crisp short routes, unlike say Adonai Mitchell 
and Ladd McConkey in this draft. Brian Thomas Jr also has quicker feet than Tee with the same size. 

Tee also doesn't have deep speed like Brian Thomas Jr. These are just facts. Tee is limited in his route tree. Curls, outs, digs, posts, ins and 
back shoulder fades are about all he can be effective at. For example, a Sluggo or double move is not possible with Tee as it would be incredibly
slow and would take forever putting Burrow in a bad spot relying on the OL to hold their blocks for a long time.

No one has said he is an elite number 1. But he IS a top 20 WR, by most any measurable or metric you can pull since we joined the league.

Since 2021, Justin Jefferson has twenty two 100+ yard games. Most in the nfl. Cooper Kupp has 20, davante adams 19, Tyreek hill 17, ceedee lamb 16… so on and so forth.

Tee Higgins has 10 such games over that time span, good for 13th (tied with waddle) most in the nfl.

Furthermore, when he gets to the 100 yard mark, he is averaging over 17 yards per catch.

Tee Higgins is NOT cooper Kupp, I repeated NOT Kupp. But, he is of similar archetype build. Same for davante Adams and the great Larry Fitzgerald.

If anyone can bring any facts/production to the table on how tee Higgins isn’t a number one receiver, I would be open to it. But so far it’s just opinions and a lot of said so.
