As Elijah Higgins sat on a witness stand this week, he detailed the similarities between his experience last season as a rookie tight end for the Arizona Cardinals and the four years he had spent playing football at Stanford University.
Five or six days a week at each level of play, he was immersed in football activities: lifting weights, practice, film study, physical therapy and playing games.
There are some differences, Higgins allowed.
The only other distinction is that, in contrast to Stanford, he now earns a paycheck.
last season was $750,000.
