I don’t really think Stroud trusted him too much this year either, seems like Nico and Shultz got a lot of contested catch opportunities but Higgins never really did
He just got better and better through out the season. I really like Higgins and Noel. Two great draft picks. Casario does seem to draft well in the WR category. Wish he was as good evaluating o-line prospects.
They immediately poured significant resources (some would say an overpay) into upgrading the running back position and shipped out the “best” player on an offensive line that is likely going to have four new starters next year. You know, all the areas some of us kept pointing out as being below average that folks like you kept dismissing as "excuses."
