PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Jayden Higgins is a long, fluid possession receiver with strong contested-catch ability and excellent route-running intelligence. He excels at attacking leverage, manipulating defenders at the top of routes, and finding space against zone coverage. While he lacks top-end explosiveness and struggles against press coverage, he projects well as a big slot or possession-style X-receiver in a West Coast or spread system.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
