“He is a glue guy for this team,” Rams coach Sean McVay said of Higbee on Friday. “Really cool to see him honored as a captain, voted on by his teammates this year. He epitomizes a lot of the things we’re looking for in Rams. Mentally and physically tough, loves to compete (and) he’s got versatility. We ask a lot of our tight ends. He sets the example every single day.
