He also stopped Marshawn Lynch from scoring the go ahead touchdowm in Super Bowl 49. Surprised they didn't mention that.
091MW2 it's 2017
But they mentioned Butler's interception from two years ago.
Because that is one of the most forgotten but best plays of all time
JP Meyer marshawn lynch would have scored if it was not for dont'a Hightower
091MW2 they didn't mention it cuz it never happened
This guy is seriously underrated
Elliot Yang Well he got paid so I wouldn't say he's underrated
Noah DeJesus in terms of general respect as a player
Criminally under rated, big play Dont’a always comes up clutch in the biggest, huge loss one defense this season.
@@ShotzRox If it wasn't for his fumble the pats would have never won the super bowl
@@ShotzRox yeah made big plays in all the last 3 super bowl wins 🔥
He's prolly one of the best middle linebackers in the game, he should be ranked higher
Reid McClanahan Vince Williams
@@dahfighter9914 stfu
This is disrespectful and I'm not even a pats fan
Majid Mayow im a
..GIANTS FAN and i think he should be higher...
can't believe these dudes got rid of chandler jones and jamie collins and still had a premier defense
CFB Fan Well it's the system bruh
Jean Michael you're so salty😂 I've seen you comment on anything pro pats. You should really get a life😂 and regardless of it's a system team it's still a good system😂
Fishing down south He didn't say anything that makes him "salty" he just said it's the system? Wtf?
Fishing down south bills an all time elite defensive coach
CFB Fan and jerod mayo retired
He should be in the 70s-60s this list got him rated low
exactly
Adam Silver players make the list NBA fan smh
agreed
agreed
Eddy Mack I know but he's a good player he deserves respect and should be rated higher
I absolutely hate the Pats but this is disrespectful. He should be top 50. If it wasn't for him the Falcons would've been celebrating that Super Bowl win
Jack Fleming they vote on this list before the Super Bowl
no listen to 0:38
Nate Sheridan the voting was done before the playoffs but the videos was shot after the playoffs.
Jack Fleming... Seahawks would be too
I have absolutely no problem with declaring my undying love for this man.
Most underappreciated player in the league. If we had him in this superbowl, I have no doubt we would've won. Way higher on this list. Captain of the Patriots Defence. Criminally underrated.
94 haha more like Top 50
KFCBULLS 😂😂😂😂 you should be a comedian
Jean Michael Me made the pro bowl, made 2 super bowl saving plays, and got back to back safety's this year
Yea he's a very good player, but he ain't top 50.
Jean Michael he was an all pro this year name me 5 LBs better than him
Bull Jr. bobby wagner, luke kuecly,dein jones, von miller, justin houston. then hightower#still overrated
Higher than this bullshit!!! C'mon!! 94??????? Really???????!!!!!!!!!!!!! At LEAST 50
More like 54.
+Paul Chaos ayyyy
this why patriots players are cheaters
94??? Really? 94?? Top 70 at least.
94? More like 54. I know that this is only for 2017 season, but you can't talk about big plays in the superbowl without mentioning him stopping BEAST MODE at the 1 goddamn yard line to get a W.
Yeah, but they mentioned Butler's int in 49. Why couldn't they mention the play that set Butler up for it?
Come on now....94? NFL y'all bullshittin
So underrated
this list is ridiculous. ain't no way he's only 94
Do people just forget the Patriots were the #1 defense? Not the Texans. Points allowed defense is far more important than yards allowed
Clay Matthews higher than Hightower 😂😂😂
I don't think people understand that you can only have 50 people in the top 50. The players vote for the top 100 btw
To low top 70. One of the best MLB in the game
Pickle Ass lol I hate that, when you re write something and forget a word.
@@petermello55 ?
@@AA-vn3ru yeah, I’m not sure what happened here lol
Probably the three best games of this guy's career have been the three super bowls he played in. Game saving tackle vs Seahawks. Turning point strip sack vs falcons. Two sacks vs Rams, one that knocked them out of FG range. Doesn't matter what kind of season he had to that point. Big game you want him on the field.
Related - I want to hang out with Mike Daniels. He seems like a fun guy.
94? 94? Oh my God....
I almost forgot how cool his mom is.....shes is Awesome!! Dont'a Please don't ever change you remind me of a young LT with all his Drive and want to win attitude you in a lot of areas are already past him and are already carving out your own Nitch in NFL History! I will add that maybe you should be Higher on the List but we all Know People are not fans of the SB51 World Champion Patriots! Dont'a Hug your Mom and stay Humble young man, God will work out the rest!
Reporter: "DontAH.."
Dont'A: It's DontAY. Get my name right"
*few minutes later*
Mike Daniels: "DontAH Hightower is one of my all-time favorite players"
.. clearly hahaha
Came looking for this comment. Was not disappointed
Boomtower is a difference maker. I love watching him play.
Only a couple of spots into the list & already 2 Patriots players that should be higher than 100-90 & i'm not even a Pats fan. Hightower & Butler...This years list already appears to be a little off the mark.
hightower is the qb of our defence, and has been for years. i hope we keep him for years to come, i just fear he will get paid more somewhere else, and leave.
if it happens though, i wish him nothing but the best, he deserves everything he gets, he plays lights out 24/7 365
top 40
Get it right (DON-TAY) not (DON-TUH). One of the best all around 'backers in the league.
Severely underrated. He's been top 50 talent for years, let alone last year. A great.
My two favorite players of all time tedy bruschi and Donta Hightower…. At first I was a little disappointed he got to wear #54 but man did he wear it well !!
I watched him play in the East versus West game in Tennessee my sophomore year and thinking he’s something special
donta hightower should be higher
As a pats fan I don't mind Malcolm butlers place but this kind of irks me. I'd like to see 93 better players than him.
Chris Walkey Exactly. I can't imagine anyone could sincerely say that 93 players in the league are better than this man
Chris Walkey ***92*** 🤓 think bout it
I'm impressed how clean Hightower tackles. That's the way it should be!
With Hightower and Van Noy backing up the line, I think a lot of Pats fans can rest easy knowing their opposition will be in for a hard time.
Too low. He's one of the only names on that Patriots defense that all other offenses should respect. He's a hard hitter, and he's fast. Dude had a great season. If Luke Kuechly is placed 20 spots higher, you know it's a popularity contest.
DISRESPECTFUL he should easily be top 30
Such a beast he had an amazing game against rams. And his hits off camera were just as nasty as the ones on
Hate the Pats, but I absolutely love this dude. He a straight up machine.
Hightower pretty much helped us win both of our last two Super Bowl wins. Tackling Lynch at the goaline in 49 and strip sacking Matt Ryan in 51. And somehow he's at 94???
How is this man not higher he's always making the game saving plays (in the Super Bowl)!!
Came back just to say... IF HIGHTOWER DONT GET TOP 50 ATLEAST IN THIS NEXT LIST IM FLIPPING MY SH*T!!!! DUDE MAD UNDERRATED 😤
Most underrated player in patriots history. Big play hightower made non stop big plays in big moments. But hes a patriot and doesnt have stupid stats. If he played for some piss ant team hed have all the stats in the world. Hes got rings instead
freeman blew that block on Hightower. Such a turning point
Patriots players always get snubbed because all the credit goes to Tom but honestly Tom deserves a whole bunch of credit but these guys getting snubbed are straight ballers. I'd take Hightower as a top 5 linebacker and he deserves to be higher on this light.
THANK YOU HIGHTOWER!!!
He is a quintessential do it all linebacker
So underrated.
Underrated AF!
Big part of that Patriots Dynasty
Underrated bro I swear
94! Are you kidding me!! Dont'a Hoghtower is much more valuable!
This is way too low and I'm not even a patriots fan lol
I like this commentary
lol 94? nah. 30 something
He has to be one of the greatest MLB of all time...
Bout time he got recognized. Been one of the better linebackers for years and key for the Patriots.
Janoris Jenkins wants to look exactly like Future
Most clutch defender ever
He pretty much brought down lynch on the 1 yard line in #49. Literally bench pressed his blocker and go to lynch. We all knkw how SB 49 Ended
Hightower is such a beast god I hope we keep him and van noys there unstoppable
To the people complaining do u even know who votes? The damn players who know more than we do. Second u don't know who is yet to come
Don't'a Hightower is a beast.
So underrated... He rocks bruschi number
He's gotta be almost upper 40s
"Say my name right baby!"
He is so awesome glad he got a contract
Donta Hightower, a great defensive player, and one that doesn't get talked about as much.
Best defensive player of all time
his name is so lit
Am I the only one who thought it said don`t be a Hightower😂😂😂😂
No more Pat McAfee but i still love these
one of the few dudes the pats actually pay. if the patriots even think hes a beast, he should be higher
That reporter... That wasn't the biggest defensive play of the Super Bowl... Try an 80 yard pick six by Alford!
GOAT
What's the brace on his arm? Need some sort of shoulder brace at the moment.
Not to take away from that sack in SB 51 but Devonta Freeman totally blew the block and let Hightower get to Matt Ryan. Hightower still belongs higher on this list
As SAS would say - OMG 94 WHAT!!! This Is Just Blasphemous!! The NFL players should be ashamed of themselves.
Dont'a made two of the biggest plays in both SBs (vs Seahawks * Falcons)
He can play inside LB, Outside LB & edge rusher
@00:50 did he say get my name right nigha? Lmao
Pheap Long he said baby
He was one of the best players in Super Bowl 51
Hightower gotta be top 50 he’s one of the most underrated defensive players in the league
This guy definitely deserves a higher rank.
his good that play in the SB when he caused the fumble
This list is based off popularity
2x Superbowl Champion boyyyyy!
doomtower! a beast
I would have ranked him higher because of that play in Super Bowl 51 I'm talking about the one when he stripped the ball from Matt Ryan
94!?!? this is a crime
Seriously? He should at least be in the top 30. He's the best at his position and everyone knows it.
He's easily top 50.
My friends say Tom Brady is horrible even if your not a pats fan there is no denying his greatness
Good
All ppl who voted for "Not in my top 100" are all falcons players or fans
very underrated pass rushing MLB who always has a nose for the ball. shame he's listed here
Boomtower!
Apparently Alex Smith is better than an all-pro linebacker with 2 super bowl saving plays to his name.
Janoris Jenkins…the 4th Migos member.
2:52 that one hurt me
HE shoulda been on the list last year and he should be higher tf
Smh they didn't even mention that he stopped BeastMode one 1-yard line in SuperBowl 49.
