The captain of an Alabama defense that allowed just 8.2 points per game last season, Hightower is likely the top pass-rushing interior linebacker in the 2012 NFL draft. Many scouts also think he can play outside linebacker in a 3-4.

He could always takeover for that no running, no tackling, no clue having AJ Hawk!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
He would be a good choice but they say his coverage skills may not be the best. I guess worse case move him inside and move Hawk to anyone willing to pay that horrible deal Thompson gave him.
I’ll take it!
