Patriots Draft Profile: Why This Receiver Prospect Best Day 2 Option

1 week ago | nesn.com | Sean McGuire |Adam London |Keagan Stiefel

Arguably no wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft class developed to the same extent as Jayden Higgins. A two-star recruit coming out of Westminster Christian School (Miami, Fla.), Higgins received six college offers. He didn’t have Power Five programs piling up the postage. Instead, it was Eastern Kentucky, Austin Peay, Duplicate, Houston Christian, Stetson and Virginia Military Institute — schools you won’t see during college football national windows.

Nobody is going to confuse Iowa State with Wide Receiver University. That sort of moniker has traditionally been saved for the likes of Ohio State and LSU. However, football fans shouldn’t be surprised if they hear not one but two Cyclones have their names called early in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s hard to find a wideout pairing anywhere in the country that was better than Iowa State’s duo of Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in 2024.

The Giants reportedly want another look at Shedeur Sanders, and will fly to Colorado on Thursday for one last private workout with the quarterback prospect. What’s the big deal, right? Well, the timing is a bit perplexing. New York will see Sanders just one week before it makes its pick at third overall.
