Deep-Roster DL Depth With a Special-Teams Background
Higgins is an under-the-radar New Mexico State defensive line add whose value is more about upside and physicality than proven production: the available college data shows he has spent his early career at the FBS level mainly on special teams and with limited offensive snaps, which points to a player still carving out a role rather than a finished product.[8][1][2] His main appeal is fit-driven—he brings size, experience in a program environment, and the kind of developmental profile coaches like for rotational depth, but he is not yet a high-output, stat-sheet anchor.
