Jayden Higgins is going to be a star

For the life of me I cant figure out why Higgins wasn't a top 20 pick.

I've watched every target from his 2023 and 2024 seasons and the guys a dynamic player and elite prospect, I genuinely dont understand why he wasn't a consensus first rounder.

At 6'4.5 215 with a 6'7 wingspan, 4.4 speed and 39 inch vertical he's got elite size and athleticism and it very much shows up on his tape. He uses his frame phenomenally in the redzone and on slants / posts to get separation from the DB and he's got breakaway speed to burn defenders

His route running is really good and he regularly torches people on double moves and at the line of scrimmage on slants. His hands are really good and he's physical with the ball in his hands breaking tackles and finishing downhill

He really looks like Nico Collins circa 2023/2024 out there at Iowa State and helped lead the Cyclones to an overachieving 11 win season this year with 1200 yards.

His production, size and skillset are top notch and Iowa State being a lower profile program is the only reason I can conjure as to why he wasnt picked earlier in the draft. I cant see anything in his game that doesnt scream first rounder

Incredible pick by Caserio and absolutely stoked to see him opposite Nico this year. He's going to feast with CJ
