36. Dont’a Hightower — Linebacker — New England Patriots

Dont’a Hightower is quickly becoming one of the most dependable linebackers in the NFL.

And that’s exactly why the Patriots made sure to re-sgin the former Alabama linebacker, even after his hometown team, the Titans, made a push to sign him.

Hightower made his first career Pro-Bowl in 2016 after compiling 65 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 13 games.
