The Cincinnati Bengals drafted a Cincinnati Bengals fan who models his game after A.J. Green to start Round 2 on Friday night with Tee Higgins out of Clemson.

And it just so happens Green is one of the most common pro comparisons for Higgins.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com was one of the first to make the comp, concluding the following:

“Long, angular frame with cheat-code body control and ball skills when attacking downfield. Higgins is leggy getting off of the press, but those same leggy strides are weapons of separation that help create big plays. He’s played all three receiver spots and can be moved around to match up against cornerbacks. His size and “above the rim” talent make him a uniquely dangerous playmaker deep and in the red zone. The transition to NFL press corners will be an early challenge that could take some time to solve, but he’s an instinctive ball-winner whose traits should win out and make him a very good NFL starter.”

Higgins at the combine? 6’4″ and 216 pounds with 34 1/8″ arms. Green at his? 6’4″ and 211 pounds with 34 3/8″ arms. Higgins, 25 touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons while averaging 18.1 yards per catch for his career. Green, 23 over his final three while averaging 15.8.

Based on his extensive highlight reel, it’s not hard to see why Green is a typical comp for Higgins. T.J. Houshmandzadeh thinks Higgins can be a top pro wideout. And Chad Johnson was made Higgins fell out of the first round.

Player comps and past-player endorsements don’t guarantee a prospect reaches his full potential by any means. But Higgins clearly has a certain type of upside while headed into a situation where he’ll get to learn from the very guy he models his game after while playing with a prospect like Joe Burrow.

It sure feels like he’ll be able to meet the lofty expectations.
