Shortly after they acquired Kyle Van Noy from the Detroit Lions, the New England Patriots made a shocking move: fellow linebacker Jamie Collins, fresh off a Pro Bowl campaign, was shipped off to the Cleveland Browns.
Van Noy, as it turned out, was not brought in to play alongside Collins but rather to replace him. One person who was not happy about this development was the leader of the New England linebacker room, Dont’a Hightower.
As Van Noy revealed during a press conference on Thursday, he believes Hightower did not like him very much upon his arrival.
