JOHN

HIGHTOWER

John Hightower, our 205th ranked wide receiver, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the New England Patriots because they could use a player of this quality to play wide receiver. The Patriots currently have 6 healthy wide receivers, and 3 are rated better than Hightower: (Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, and Jalynn Polk).

The Patriots currently have no wide receivers under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Hightower is probably looking at a one year deal, due to his rank, with the team.
