Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins expressed confidence in his preparation for the 2026 NFL season, stating he is 'playing faster, playing stronger' and expects to 'have a great year.' The comments came during a media availability session on June 7, 2026, as reported by multiple outlets.
Higgins, who joined the Texans as a rookie in 2025, has been working on his route running and physical conditioning during the offseason. Team sources indicate he has added muscle mass while maintaining his speed, which could make him a more versatile target in the Texans' offense.
The Texans are counting on Higgins to contribute alongside established receivers like Nico Collins and Tank Dell. Head coach DeMeco Ryans has praised Higgins' work ethic, noting that the young receiver has 'taken a big step' in his development.
Higgins' optimism aligns with the team's broader goals for the 2026 season, as Houston looks to build on its playoff appearance from the previous year. The Texans' offense, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, is expected to feature a more dynamic passing game.
