JOHN LEE HIGGINS (WR-OAK)- With another season down the tubes, Oakland might be ready to give a long look at some of their younger and unproven players. Among these is rookie receiver John Lee Higgins. In his last two years at UTEP, Higgins averaged 19.7 yards per reception in addition to scoring 19 touchdowns. Ranked as the 14th best receiver in the latest edition of the NFL Draft Bible, the 5'11" 186-pound Higgins has the type of physical skills to turn a screen pass into an 80-yard score. Look for the 24-year-old to get some repetitions out of the slot.
SEAN McHUGH (TE-DET)- With tight end Casey FitzSimmons and star receiver Roy Williams out with injuries, the 6'5" 265-pound McHugh has been seeing more playing time and has looked very promising in the process. The former Nittany Lion hauled in three receptions for sixty yards versus the Cowboys in week 14. Overall, McHugh has averaged 17 yards per reception on the season. Widely considered to be an above-average blocker, McHugh is also an athletic route runner who knows how to get open despite his lack of blazing speed.
