LA Rams: Tight end Tyler Higbee could have career high season

Big target, soft hands

Tyler Higbee is already creating chemistry with his new quarterback, and he likely will throughout the season.

The reason is simple, for either to do well, the other must do well. Of course, it will all fall down to the simple task of finding Higbee on the football field. However, as Higbee is a 6-foot-6 255-pound tight end, locating him won’t be the most difficult task in any football game.

Higbee is on his sixth NFL season, and he has been steadily improving with each successive year. Considering that he was the 110th overall player chosen in the 2016 NFL Draft, the same draft that yielded quarterback Jared Goff as well, Higbee’s career with the LA Rams clearly seems to be turning the page to a new chapter.

A new chapter in the NFL typically means a new quarterback, and this will be the first year for Higbee to be on the other end of passes from someone new. How will that impact his season?  Well, that is a topic that Ram’s sportscaster D’Marco Farr goes into at the 1:20 mark of the video (below), when he asks Higbee if he can be the best tight end in the NFL. Of course, Higbee sees the chance, if not the likelihood of becoming a league-leading tight end this year.

But it really gets interesting when Farr pushes the topic further and asks Higbee if the addition of Stafford will elevate his game as well.  Higbee points out that Stafford distributes the ball all over the field, and that Higbee is working in training camp to develop the chemistry that is so vital to share between a receiver and his quarterback.
