Higbee may not blow people away with exceptional speed or elusiveness like some of the top tight ends do, but he does everything well. He’s a solid receiver, a good blocker and still manages to make plays after the catch.

He also plays in an offense that features Cooper Kupp and now Allen Robinson, so he doesn’t exactly get the most targets.
