In the early portion of the 2020 NFL Draft, the lowly Cincinnati Bengals secured a one-two punch in quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Tee Higgins. With the former coming off the board at No. 1 overall, the Bengals then used the first selection in the second round to take Higgins, a former Clemson Tiger standout who will now be paired with the team's quarterback of the future.
Higgins has now inked his rookie contract with the Bengals with the newly signed deal coming just hours after Cincinnati was able to lock up Burrow on a four-year rookie contract of his own. With Tiggins signing a four-year contract with the Bengals ahead of the upcoming 2020-21 campaign, the team has now officially signed all of its 2020 NFL Draft picks.
Burrow will have more than Tiggins at his disposal, however, as the Bengals are now loaded at the wide receiver position. In addition to the presence of Tiggins, who produced 59 receptions for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final collegiate campaign at Clemson in 2019-20, the Bengals will also be sporting the likes of Pro Bowler A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and John Ross at the wide receiver position.
Unfortunately for Burrow, Higgins and the rest of the Bengals, though, Cincinnati will be forced to play in the always competitive AFC North division in 2020-21 alongside the high powered Baltimore Ravens, heralded Pittsburgh Steelers and up-and-coming Cleveland Browns.
