“I’m going with the same mindset that I always have, which is to go in and be dominant, and be accountable to my teammates, and do what I have to do get off the field and whatever I have to do to get the victory,” Hightower said.

“It’s football and I’m a student of the game,” Hightower said. “It’s something I’m very passionate about, so each day I wake up and I’m blessed to be able to do something I love and to be able to make a living off of it. Football is my life, so I’m definitely glad that I’m blessed to be where I’m at.”
