Is Hightower a Hof?

[Bfanlc]

Just wondering if you guys think Hightower gets , eventually, into the HOF? Is he a first time entry?
Imo he gets in, not sure if on the first go.

I highly doubt it.

Not the pro football hall of fame but maybe the Pats HOF. I love me some High, up there with the most clutch Pats defenders.

High Life!!!

No. I love Dont’a, but no way.

 

[fightingirish595]

Yes. He’s been one of the best linebackers in the league for almost a decade and had 3 rings. Maybe potentially more. He’s helped anchored the defense of a dynasty

Donta effects the game way beyond the stat sheet with his versatility

 

[DropKickFlutie]

2 time national college champ now 3 time NFL champ. I think he just needs a couple more years of great stats.

He’s only in his age 28 season. Linebackers can usually remain productive into there mid 30s. If he can stay healthy and in good shape no reason he can’t make it

Pats’

Ugh

If there was a hall of fame for big play players that make the play in the spotlight he’d be a shoe in.

Pats HOF, but to get into the Pro HOF you need multiple all pros and pro bowls which unfortunately he doesn’t have. Zach Thomas is a 5x 1st team all pro, 2X 2nd team, 7x pro bowler, all decade team, and is not in the Pro HOF.

Hightower is the best big game defender in the league right now and has already earned his red jacket. He’s just not a Pro HOFamer.

 

[Sully]

Patriot Hall of Fame for sure. Just never healthy enough to dominate the league.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Nah, he would need to have a lot more longevity than I think he will to have a real shot IMO.

 

[thecore762]

Not really, but he will be one of the best Patriots playing at LB position in recent history.

Winner

Love Hightower but his regular season’s don’t get him in Seau’s class, but he’s a clutch HOF player. Patriots HOF.

 

[lancerman]

He has one 2nd Team All Pro. He won't make it.

 

[PatsGirl2011]

No

 

[nabwong]

No because our D doesn’t really showcase players. I have no doubt that if Hightower was playing for another team, he would get more consideration.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

He is going to be a patriot’s hall of famer for sure. The quintessential patriot linebacker. So versatile and clutch.

No real chance for canton though.
