"Dont'a Hightower Joins Patriots as Coach"

Dont'a Hightower, a former New England Patriots linebacker and three-time Super Bowl winner, is returning to the team as a linebackers coach after two years away. His addition completes the coaching staff for new defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington, joining new defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery and the anticipated returns of Brian Belichick and Mike Pellegrino. The team may still seek a replacement for the outside linebackers coach position.
