I've been mocking the Hollywood Higgins Hype Train that was started early this training camp but after 1 pretty good preseason game against an average defense, I have no choice but to change my tune and agree that this guy is For Real.
Alright - I'm a fan. It's hard not to be encouraged. I'm not exactly sure what, if anything, clicked for this guy. But I'm withholding judgment. In the interest of fairness I'll also withhold snark for a while.
I will note that Rashard Higgins ended up playing more offensive snaps than any other pass catcher on the team, but still only managed 27 total catches for 312 yards. He was outcaught by both tight ends, and outtargeted by them plus Coleman and Louis, despite playing anywhere from 90 to 220 more snaps than any of them. If he's turned some corner and is now a reliable 3rd or 4th WR who can actually get open and will catch balls, then all I can do is smile.
And say, "Thanks, Sashi."
