When looking at the Season 31 Draft Class, the most notable names that pop out are Sconnie McHits, Kotoni Staggs, The Czargyro twins, and more...but what about the wide receiver from Astoria? I'm talking about Jaycee "Cookie" Higgins.
ISFL Draft Mag #744
I'm Oliver Sloan, former defensive end for the Chicago Butchers. Since my retirement I've gotten a chance to work with ISFL Draft Mag, a company that covers prospects year around and find those gems and helps lift them to the surface, how do you think I went from one of the final DSFL picks to ISFL starter? So I've been researching this one prospect, he goes by Jaycee Higgins, "Cookie" by some. I've been doing some searching and found out a bit about the Coyote receiver, let's take a look.
Frame
-Higgins stands at 6'3" 205, a decently tall receiver with enough speed still to play point guard for the Trail Blazers. He knows how to move with his height too so a good advantage here.
On Field
-After watching a ton of film, it's clear Higgins is a big target in the Coyotes offense, as Quarterback Carter Knight threw HALF of all his touchdown passes to Higgins. A redzone threat is a huge advantage for scouts to watch.
-89 receptions to 11 drops, so a total of 100 targets that had the ball touched (pause). A 89% chance of catching a ball that is guaranteed to hit his hands is pretty good I think. If his elite play continues we can see that go below 10% within his first 3 seasons.
-1300 yards to add to his stats is remarkable, with 16 receptions over 20 yards Higgins has big play potential on any pass.
Off the Field
-Higgins was selected captain of the Coyotes offense as a rookie, that sums up how much you need to know on leadership
-One of the most active players in this draft, posting on social media and writing about the league when possible, along with some nice art skills once in a while.
-Stays humble, not too cocky nor too shy to speak when needs too
-Always seems to be around to talk
-Decent sense of humor
Final verdict on Higgins
Higgins has proven to be a solid WR1 in the Kansas City offense as a rookie, with potential DSFL OROTY votes. He can help out a team at any given time and will stay at receiver it looks like. Wherever he goes I think he will wait a season before he makes the jump, but when he does he can be a solid contributor to any offense.
I have Higgins ranked as the 14th best prospect in the draft and 3rd best wide receiver. I think he can end up anywhere from 10-17, as a late first rounder/early 2nd is an accurate projection for him. Where he ends up is a question, he has no preference but has several ties to Chicago (trained by me, as a former butcher), Sarasota (current QB is already locked to end up there, will the connection continue?) and Berlin. He has reportedly been scouted by every team, so it's a real toss up for him. The connections will likely mean nothing when the time comes, as it's more about the work ethic at that point. Let's see though, as it's just the start for this tough Cookie.
