In case the Cincinnati Bengals fans haven’t listened, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been too publicly excited about his team’s decision to select quarterback Jordan Love with a pick. first-round this year.
And in addition to the Packers being drafting their eventual replacement, Rodgers doesn’t seem too excited that his team has passed certain wide receiver prospects to make a quarterback the national team.
Like the Bengals, Tee Higgins.
Higgins, the first pick of the second round who signed on the dotted line Tuesday and will rank 85th, was specifically mentioned in an interview with Rodgers. Packers Wire’s Zach Kruse captured the remarkable part:
So yes, Rodgers isn’t overly excited, and the elite quarterbacks had their eyes on Higgins.
Higgins’ most common professional comparison was AJ Green, so it’s not difficult to see why an elite quarterback would want to have him listed.
That honor, however, goes to No. 1 Joe Burrow, who will have Higgins, Green and a host of others to work directly with. Burrow won’t be too far from Higgins to finalize their deal later this week.
