Elijah Higgins – August 11, 2023 (Postgame)

Friday, August 11, 2023
Postgame – Atlanta

TE Elijah Higgins

(First action. What was it like?) – “It took a while to really get to play football again. It took me the first drive to get going, but it was nice to get back out there and just play football again for sure.”

(How’d you feel you did?) – “I think I did all right. I mean definitely a lot of things I need to sharpen up on, as far as like in the blocking game, and also in the route game as well. I think it was a first good step for me for a real game so I’m excited.”

(You did get loose on the one where they scrambled and you came back to the ball. That was a pretty big play. It had to feel pretty good. Tell me about that play.) – “It was exciting. It’s always good to get your feet wet, and that first reception was always something to look forward to when you get to the next level. So I was definitely excited for sure.” 

(Did it take a little moment when you walked out on the field for the first time? I know it’s preseason, but just to get your bearings like, ‘Damn, I’m in the NFL right now.) – “Yeah, I think it really just took a second to step back and just really appreciate all the things I’ve been through up until this point and the work I put in to get here. So just being grateful for the opportunity obviously, but taking a second to take it all in at once.”
