Patriots training camp notes: Day 1
Both Dont’a Hightower and Chandler Jones are watching, learning, subbing in. Hightower was primarily in the middle, but like vet Jerod Mayo, saw action at each of the three linebacker positions. Fellow freshman Chandler Jones came in at Scott’s spot. Hightower is big boy. Of course he is. He’s listed at 6-foot-4, 270 pounds. But you don’t get a sense of just how big he is until you see him near pretty big guys like Jerod Mayo (6-1, 250) or Dane Fletcher (6-2, 245) and he stands out as the largest.
