Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to have a struggle-filled contract year due to injuries.
But just like that won’t stop him from getting a massive contract in free agency next summer (if he makes it there, of course), that doesn’t stop other players from around the NFL talking about his talent.
The Athletic recently held another anonymous NFL player poll and Higgins actually landed No. 1 among players as the most underrated out there:
Sometimes on-field production doesn’t always lead to players getting the respect they deserve. Regardless of how well some perform, their names aren’t brought up as much when discussing the top guys at their respective positions.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins led the vote, but there are a multitude of players who received recognition among their peers for being underrated.
As hinted, Higgins’ production this year won’t show that — a fractured rib and a later hamstring injury have limited him to 27 catches and two touchdowns over just seven games.
But Higgins landing as underrated seems fair enough considering his immense talent, production and the fact the spotlight tends to go to Ja’Marr Chase for obvious reasons.
