Patriots players seem to be excited about their team’s latest coaching hire.
Following the news that former Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower is returning to Foxborough as New England’s linebackers coach, players took to social media to show their support for the move.
Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley took to both Instagram and X to share his congratulations for Hightower.
Bentley and Hightower shared time together as Patriots teammates between the 2018 and 2019 seasons and again in 2021 (Hightower did not play in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic). The pair won Super Bowl LIII against the Rams in 2018-19.
