From the episode

It's Jaden Higgins, wide receiver in Houston. He was drafted 34th overall out of Iowa State in 2025. Really exciting athletic profile. He recorded a 9.63 RAS...He ended his rookie campaign third on the team and targets behind Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz...He did record six touchdowns, the exact same number as Collins...I think Higgins has breakout potential.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

34th pick Higgins has breakout potential with 9.63 RAS and six TDs in rookie year.

Higgins, a 34th overall pick from Iowa State in 2025, has an exciting athletic profile with a 9.63 RAS (Relative Athletic Score) and is a strong ball catcher with a wide catch radius. He finished his rookie campaign third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz, but recorded six touchdowns—the exact same number as Collins. Loza believes Higgins has breakout potential and could catch steam as the season progresses, with the hope he'll pick up where he finished last season at the start of 2026. He's also a strong insurance policy if anything happens to Nico Collins, who has had injury concerns in the past.
