Drafted 33rd overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Higgins has established himself as a reliable target for the Bengals. Over his career, he has played in 76 games, amassing 348 catches for 4,815 yards and 36 touchdowns. His career average sits at 13.8 yards per reception, underlining his ability to generate big plays.
Against divisional rival Pittsburgh Steelers, Higgins has been especially productive, posting 41 receptions, 697 receiving yards, and 4 touchdowns across 8 career games. This history highlights his impact in crucial AFC North matchups.
At 26 years old, Higgins stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 220 pounds, using his size to his advantage in contested catch situations. Born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, he remains a key component of the Bengals’ passing attack, working alongside fellow receiver Ja’Marr Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow.
With the Bengals aiming to improve their 2-4 record and push for a playoff spot, Higgins’ performance will be critical in the second half of the season. His production in big games, especially against teams like the Steelers, is likely to remain a focal point as Cincinnati seeks to climb the AFC standings.
