Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower 'on track' after shoulder surgery

Patriots ILB Dont'a Hightower says he is feeling good after post-Super Bowl surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He does not know how much he'll participate this offseason but is still right on schedule. 'Right now, I'm doing well. The doc likes everything he's seen. I just had my checkup. I'm right on track, if not better,' he said. 'I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to do as far as OTAs and training camp and all that other stuff goes. But I'm looking forward to being back.'

Fantasy Analysis:

After Hightower's breakout season, which took off after an injury to Jerod Mayo, he is a leading candidate to be a breakout IDP LB.
