Returning for his 11th season with the Rams makes him the longest-tenured player on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Higbee, 33, is the all-time franchise leader for receptions (386), receiving yards (3,949) and receiving touchdowns (27) by a tight end. He posted 25 receptions for 281 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games (eight starts) last season, missing one game (Week 5 vs. 49ers) with a hip injury and six games (Weeks 12-17) with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His energy and the way he cares about his teammates,&#8221; said quarterback Matthew Stafford, when asked in late December what he appreciates about Higbee the most on the field. &#8220;He&#8217;s the ultimate team player. I&#8217;ve loved every minute I&#8217;ve had playing football with Higs. He&#8217;s a special football player and has made so many great plays that I can remember off the top of my head. It&#8217;s just the human being too. The human being that celebrates for everybody. He has great celebrations himself. He&#8217;s great around the building. He&#8217;s just an awesome teammate. He&#8217;s what you want. Everybody calls him a glue guy, probably an understatement. He&#8217;s an unbelievable player and a great person for our team and we&#8217;re happy to have him back out there moving around again and feeling like himself. I&#8217;m happy for the human being.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Super Bowl LVI champion, he originally joined the team as a fourth-round draft pick (110th overall) out of Western Kentucky in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>His return means the Rams return all of their four primary tight ends from last season in Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. \u2013 The Rams have re-signed tight end Tyler Higbee to a two-year deal.
