The connection between Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp gets a lot of attention, but the veteran quarterback has also developed a strong rapport with his tight end, Tyler Higbee, in the last two years.
Higbee is one of Stafford’s favorite targets, seeing a career-high 108 passes thrown his way last season – some of which came from the Rams’ backup quarterbacks after Stafford went down.
With Stafford healthy again, he and Higbee have picked up right where they left off in 2022. On Thursday, the two connected for a touchdown during team drills, an impressive throw and catch between them.
Stafford put the ball where only Higbee could make a play, and that’s exactly what the tight end did, making a leaping catch in the end zone for six points.
