Comparing AJ Green and Tee Higgins as prospects

[jabor]

Posting newbie here :)  I think the big difference between Green and Higgins is their separation on the deep route when the ball's in the air. I think Green is special in this regard, as was Chris Henry.  I mean how many times have we seen the ball in the air and see both Green and Henry just flat out blow by their one-on-one coverage?  Especially Henry..my jaw would drop at the sudden separation he'd get from his coverage.  I shudder to think of what Green's stats might have been with a strong-armed quarterback like Palmer.

I think this is also born out in their combine numbers, if you look at their 10, 20, & 40 yd progression times, as well as their mph at the end of the 40. Check it out here:
