3. WR Tee Higgins

Tee Higgins played through some pain during the last two CFB Playoff games and Clemson football fans should be appreciative for what the wide receiver has accomplished during his career.

That being said, Higgins has an opportunity to be a potential first-rounder- at worst second-rounder- in this coming year’s draft.

He could come back and improve his draft stock, potentially becoming the top wide receiver taken, but I don’t think he has much else to prove, other than potentially getting that degree- something he promised his mother he’d do.

The good thing, though, is that Higgins will always have that scholarship to come back and complete his degree at a later point following his NFL career because he’s going to go pro, in my opinion.

Higgins had an outstanding season and he’s going to be a high selection in this coming year’s draft.
