Patriots Rookie Eyeball Test: Dont’a Hightower

I’m thrilled about Hightower the player don’t get me wrong, but I’m seeing a real lack of flair. While I’m happy he didn’t stick with the facemask he wore at Alabama, this one’s kind of the vanilla choice. At least Spikes has the audacity to wear a tinted visor.

There’s no chance he keeps number 45 in the regular season so we can throw that out the window, and from the looks of this pic he needs to drop a couple lbs if he wants to play LB here. So I think the jury is still out.

Final Eye Ball Test Grade: Incomplete, pending number change and no spare tire.

Several rookies, including linebacker Dont’a Hightower, noted this stretch has served as the start of their fulfilled dreams of reaching the NFL. It also means the afterglow of the draft has switched off, as the purpose of their process has officially begun. “I’d rather not have the spotlight on me,” Hightower said. “I’m glad that’s over. It’s fun and everything, but I’m ready to get down to business.”

Not only do we have a lot of people that have been successful and provided some results individually, but a lot of them have some real background and knowledge of our system too, which is a little bit of a unique situation,” McDaniels said. “I think that makes for great competition. I know every year, we talk about having great competition at every spot, and the receiver position is certainly going to be filled with that. We have a ton of guys here, working hard, and making sure they’re ready for OTAs [organized team activities] in the spring. We’re going to give them all an opportunity. I don’t think you want to assume too many things. Let them go back out there and demonstrate what they know, what they can do, what they can provide our team, and let the competition play out.

New England Patriots Draft Grade | Will Dont’a Hightower and Chandler Jones start Day One? (by ProFootballWeekly)

I love how everyone is backtracking on the Tavon Wilson pick now. Oh he was rising up draft boards even though none of the “pundits” even knew who he was.

I also think that the same people who are saying “Chandler Jones needs time but will be a great pick in the long term” are going to be calling him a bust if he doesn’t set the world on fire this year.
