With the Cleveland Browns acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason, the star wideout has taken a lot of the spotlight, but Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report thinks that Rashard Higgins could actually be the team's secret weapon this upcoming season.
As Knox points out, he was a standout last season for the Browns and had incredible chemistry with the Baker Mayfield, and those are two things that shouldn't be overlooked heading into this year.
That leaves Rashard Higgins as a forgotten man in the passing attack, but he shouldn't be overlooked. He found tremendous chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield last season and became one of his most-trusted targets.
Despite missing three games, Higgins hauled in 39 passes for 572 yards and four touchdowns. Though he may be relegated to a fourth-receiver role this season, it won't make Higgins any less dangerous and could actually make him more so.
Even being the 4th wide receiver this is a team that is going to pass the ball a ton, so he should see the field a lot. When he is on the field Beckham, and Jarvis Landry will also probably be on the field and be getting a lot of attention which should open up the field even more for Higgins.
Higgins still isn't a household name across the NFL, but with all eyes on the Browns, if he can perform well, he could earn a long term contract. He is currently playing this season on a one year deal that pays him just over $2 million.
