The Houston Texans are expecting a massive jump from second-year wide receiver Jayden Higgins as they prepare to make their deepest run in the playoffs in the DeMeco Ryans era.
They'll need to see growth, especially with second-year standout Jaylin Noel on the NFI list with a finger issue and Tank Dell still working his way back from injury.
It's early in training camp, so expectations are low, but takeaways are high. As the team prepares for their first indoor practice, Higgins has been the best offensive weapon, turning heads through drills, especially in team reps as C.J. Stroud's second-best threat.
"You're seeing a guy who we're able to move around the formation a little bit more, get him inside the formation, "Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. "He's making some plays everywhere we put him. On the first play of practice today, he ran a great route and C.J. gave him a great ball. It just shows his growth and shows a guy you can rely on."
