Hightower was the 28thOverall Pick in 2012, and the All-American won the starting strongside Linebacker in training camp for Bill Belichick. Hightower became a dependable part of the New England defense, later moving to the weak side, but always excellent in his role.
A large part of the Patriots' success in the 2010s, Hightower helped New England win three Super Bowls, and he collected two Pro Bowls along the way.
After opting out the 2020 Season due to COVID-19, Hightower came back with a solid 2021, but that was the final year for him as a Patriot. Hightower left New England with 27 Sacks and 569 Combined Tackles.
