He definitely played his Butt off. He's a Gamer. I wouldn't say he blocked at a high level though. His injury really hurt us when he struggled to block.With All that said.
Tyler Higbee played Butt of in 2020 after coming off one of The Great Ram Tight End seasons.His 5 100 plus yard games almost carried The Rams to The 2019 Playoffs.
Personally there were games I thought the Pain he was in there was no way he should be on the Field.He was blocking at a High Level with a Bad Arm?? Still made some excellent plays as well. Loved his TOUGHNESS

Higbee has a lot to prove IMO. His pass catching career was less than stellar prior to that 4 game outburst, and returned to that less than stellar mode in 2020. That was one 4 game glimpse in a 5 year career.
They could save a fortune if they traded him prior to his roster bonus, but obviously the TE room is tragically low on experience right now, so they'd have to spend a bit to replace him. It's surely his make or break year that's for sure
Tight end is the biggest oddity of McVay's career in LA. He was allegedly such a TE whispererer in Washington, and yet the TE play has been mostly unspectacular (save for a few BIG moments)
Yeah, you dont usually get targeted when you're not open.Without looking I'd wager that Higbees catch percentage and YPC are around what McVay had in Washington. Just a matter of targets.

Higbee has been nothing more than a Jag outside of a 4 game blip
Truth. And that streak could be considered lots of gimmick plays when you consider the heavy rollouts were mostly a result of the terrible Oline at the end of 2019. Teams eventually schemed to stop that and to an extent could, if we used it that heavily.
Not to pile on, but that drop vs Atlanta in the playoffs still bothers me. It could have been two super bowls in 2 years.
Higbee is valuable in our scheme for sure, but he's an average TE otherwise.
But who knows, Maybe Stafford and Higs find something special. It has happened before.

Anyone know if he had surgery on the elbow? It was heavily wrapped most of the season and looked to limit some range of motion.
In 2020 he wasn’t the same receiving threat... 521yds ranked 17th among TE’s.
