By admin — In yahoo — July 2, 2026

   ​Tee Higgins is coming off the most decorated season of his career. Appearing in 15 games during the 2025 regular season, his most since 2022, the Cincinnati Bengals wideout piled up 846 yards on 59 receptions and reached the end zone a career-best 11 times.Those 11 scores paced the AFC and matched the second-highest touchdown total of any receiver in the league. The performance earned Higgins the first Pro Bowl selection of his career on January 28, when he was added to the AFC roster as a replacement for Baltimore’s Zay Flowers.Now the 27-year-old has made a big decision away from the field this offseason. It was reported on Wednesday by NFL reporter Jordan Schultz that Higgins is signing an endorsement deal with Under Armour, having previously been a Nike athlete.Sources: #Bengals star WR Tee Higgins is signing with Under Armour after previously being with Nike.The Pro Bowler will be a central part of Under Armour’s football marketing efforts moving forward and one of the key faces of the brand’s football division. pic.twitter.com/Xcu9BNWfka— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 1, 2026“Sources: #Bengals star WR Tee Higgins is signing with Under Armour after previously being with Nike,” Schultz wrote in a post on X. “The Pro Bowler will be a central part of Under Armour’s football marketing efforts moving forward and one of the key faces of the brand’s football division.”Financial terms have not been disclosed.
