The 2020 NFL Draft wrapped up on April 25. However, on April 24, the second and third rounds were held. And with the first pick in the second round (33rd overall) the Cincinnati Bengals selected wide receiver Tee Higgins out of Clemson. Right after that, the Indianapolis Colts selected wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. at 34th overall.

Both are top wide receiver prospects and two players that could turn into some of the best at the position in the entire NFL.

Before they even step on the field though, let's try and take a stab at who will have a better NFL career.

Obviously, there are pretty compelling cases for both. They both went to top-tier football colleges and carved out some incredible numbers.

The potential is high on both, but only one can take that top spot.

Now, there are a few reasons you might point to Pittman as the man here. Some may say that Higgins benefited from the Clemson offense and having Trevor Lawrence at quarterback. Meanwhile, Pittman didn't have the same luxuries at USC.

You could also argue that his NFL bloodlines (his father, Michael Pittman Sr. had over 5,000 rushing yards in his career).

He also has the immediate edge at quarterback with Phillip Rivers calling the shots in Indianapolis.

However, Rivers is 38 years old. He's not exactly going to be around for a while. That means this is a serious wild card for Pittman. Jacob Eason is there to take over when he retires and Jacoby Brissett is still on the roster just in case.

Meanwhile, Higgins has Joe Burrow. He's an unknown as he hasn't played a game in the NFL yet. That could work to Higgins' advantage though.

The quarterback was the number one pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, so clearly the potential is absurdly high.

And that's perfect for Tee Higgins, as he gets to grow with him. In fact, he could quickly turn into a favorite target of Burrow. And over the years, that connection could grow into something amazing.

For Pittman though, he could be dealing with a few quarterbacks. Rivers for one or two seasons. Then maybe a year of Brissett. Then they'll try out Eason who is not nearly as much of a “sure thing” as Burrow is (being taken in the fourth round).

By the time Pittman has a steady quarterback for a few years, Higgins could already have a major jump on him.

Now, Pittman is a very talented receiver. So he could overcome the constant changes at quarterback and still carve out a fantastic career. If we're trying to figure out who will have the better career though, Higgins has the upper hand.

Having a steady quarterback from day one makes a major difference. Yes, right now Rivers is better than Burrow. After 2020 the Colts have no idea what the future of the position holds for them though. Cincinnati believes they have their answer for the next 15-plus years.

Due to that, it's hard to bet against Tee Higgins. Both wide receivers have all the skill in the world and could easily become two of the top pass catchers in the NFL.

If we have to try and guess who will have the better career though, Higgins gets the nod.
