What is he known for doing as far as skill set and who does he best compare with? He looks like a long strider who catches well in traffic, also he runs alot faster then he looks because he was burning people.
I know most people on here are enamored with speed, and thats great and I love it too, but you need guys like this. I watched the national championship game and Mike Williams was always open no matter how close the 5 star DB was that was guarding him. When Watson was in trouble or knew he had to get the ball out quick, he just threw it to Williams and trusted him to catch it. From what I've seen of Hightower, he just always seems open and will catch the ball, no matter where the DB is at. Speed is only one way to create separation, and it don't help as much when the guy across from you is just as fast. Big guys who know how to use their body, and can run, are deadly. It's why every college coach is looking for the next Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, AJ Green, Julio Jones and the like.
This kid will catch a golf ball thrown his way with two defenders on him. I know everyone loves speed ( we got those too ) but this kid is power, vision and hands..he has a "I won't be denied" playing attitude. Glad he's with us and not our rivals. We on the way to the top with these kind of recruits. Can't wait to get number 6 officially
Mike Williams is a 4.6 guy, same with Laquan treadwell. You need these type of receivers that are big and physicalI know most people on here are enamored with speed, and thats great and I love it too, but you need guys like this.

You do realize that all of those guys except aj green are sub 4.4 guys, right? Of course everyone is looking for the next giant, super fast wide receiver that catches everything thrown his way. Hightower isn't that guy but I do like the anquan bolden comp.
