Dont'a Hightower, rookie linebacker of the New England Patriots, talked about his mentality in facing top running backs like Ray Rice.
“The mentality is the same for any game, regardless of the running back," said Hightower. "Every running back is in the NFL for a reason. Ray Rice is a great running back in all different aspects – running, catching out of the backfield, making guys miss. So I’m definitely watching film close on him, what he likes to do, his tendencies. But I’m coming in with the same mentality I have every game – be disruptive.”
