INDIANAPOLISBased on a coaches scoring system based on production, Alabama linebacker Donta Hightower was the top achiever on an elite Crimson Tide defense.
While working out at Athletes Performance Institute in Arizona, Hightower got some perspectives from another achiever.
Brian Urlacher.
The two shared a meal and a conversation with Hightower seeking out the perennial Pro Bowler for advice on adjusting to the NFL game, which Hightower will be part of in a matter of months.
I just sat down and talked to him and I gained a lot of knowledge, Hightower said Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine. Not just about football but about being a man, coming in and being a professional and making the transition from student-athlete professional.
