No Tyreek Hill? Bengals’ Tee Higgins drops sketchy top 5 NFL WRs list

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins burst onto the scene as one of the top wideouts in the NFL the last two seasons.

Following a solid rookie campaign which saw him record 67 receptions for 908 yards and six touchdowns, Higgins has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in the last two seasons while recording 13 touchdown receptions.

The Cincy receiver is part of one of the best wideout duos in the league along with Ja'Marr Chase and they arguably have the best receiving trio in the league with Tyler Boyd added to the equation.

Appearing on ESPN's First Take during Super Bowl weekend, Higgins was asked who his top-five wide receivers are in the NFL in no particular order.

Higgins said:

"I'mma go Davante, Hop, Justin Jefferson. I gotta go Diggs, and obviously I'mma go with my boy Chase."

Interestingly enough, Higgins left out one of the best receivers in the league in Tyreek Hill, who is also the league's highest-paid receiver.

While Hill was left off of Higgins' top-five, he's certainly on many others' top-five list.

In his first season with the Miami Dolphins, he set franchise records for most receptions in a season (111) and receiving yards (1,710) while recording seven touchdown receptions. These numbers were good enough to be second in both categories.

He was named an AP First-Team All-Pro alongside Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams.

Hill is probably the fastest player in the entire NFL and one of the elite playmakers who can stretch the field that makes safeties play deeper.

He's recorded five 1,000-plus seasons out of his seven-year career and has 8,2825 receiving yards on 598 receptions.

Higgins may not view Hill as a top-five wide receiver, but many others do.
