The Jets hosted ILB Dont’a Hightower for a free agency visit.
Hightower, a first-round pick of the Patriots in the 2012 NFL Draft, has been a productive player for New England the past five seasons. In 67 career regular-season games, the 6’3”, 265-pounder has registered 372 tackles, 17 sacks and 12 PDs along with 3 FR and 2 FF.
NFL.com recently ranked Hightower No. 4 on their Top 101 Free Agent list. The former Alabama star, who was a co-captain for the first time in 2016, made momentous plays in each of the Pats past two Super Bowl victories.
