Iowa State Cyclones wide receiver Jayden Higgins continues to make his case as one of the most talented pass-catchers in the 2025 NFL Draft cycle. Let’s examine his 2024 season stats, mock draft projection, and much more.
Where Did Jayden Higgins Project in Our 7-Round NFL Mock Draft?
In Pro Football Network’s latest seven-round mock draft, Higgins was drafted early in the fourth round (No. 101 overall) by the San Francisco 49ers. Here’s what Dalton Miller had to say about this projection:
“Deebo Samuel’s future in San Francisco is a mystery at this moment, and the 49ers could use a bit of size and physicality on the outside. In short, adding a true ‘ball winner’ isn’t the worst idea on a roster with a YAC monster and two route savants.
“Jayden Higgins not only has the size and length to pluck passes out of the air, but the fluidity to uncover as a route runner from multiple alignments.”
