PLAYER ANALYSIS
"What you see is what you get" running back with good vision and consistent physicality in his approach. Higdon is a one-cut runner who is a little undersized relative to his physical running style. He uses his vision and lane choices to avoid congested areas, but lacks the elusiveness to slip many open field tackles. He's a willing blocking option on third downs, but hasn't proven to be much of a threat out of the backfield and is likely to be pegged as an early-down backup with the toughness to handle spot starting duties if needed.
