Johnnie Lee Higgins had a 90 yard punt return for a TD tonight. He had an 80 yard return called back last week for a penalty away from the play.
He has also made good catches and looks like he can stretch the field. He will see playing time this season for the Raiders.
He looks like an exciting player! :D

He's also a very good dude that works very hard. He is from a small Texas town (Sweeny) in Brazoria.Co Sweeny has put out some pretty good athletes over the past 20 years with several of them seeing NFL stints but Higgins might be the best of all of them.
Anyway, I talked to one of he's HS coaches when he was still in HS and he said he was one of the hardest working kids he's ever coached and this guy had been coaching for like 20+ years.
He told me that day that Higgins would play in the NFL one day.
That kid would be in the weight room and running track almost everyday after school. Even in the summer.

Dedication will get you very far. Good luck to him and his NFL career.

He made #1 on the top 10 plays of the night on NFL Network.
Nice flip in the end zone!
