Dont’a Hightower’s retirement announcement on Tuesday meant another member of the Patriots dynasty is stepping away from the game. Hightower was a key member of three Super Bowl-winning rosters. He was named to two Pro Bowl squads and received second-team All-Pro recognition once during his decade-log NFL career.
As the NFL world is congratulating Hightower on a great career, his most famous former teammate also weighed in. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady posted a picture on his Instagram story sending congratulations Hightower’s way and praising him on his successful career.
“Clutch,” Brady wrote. “A great teammate, captain and champion. Congratulations on an amazing career.”
