The Philadelphia Eagles signed John Hightower to a futures contract on Thursday afternoon, according to an official announcement from the team.
The timing of this news is funny for me because I just wrote the following blurb about him for BGN’s Eagles position outlook series:
REGULAR SEASON STATS: 2 snaps
REVIEW: Hightower had some flashes in training camp but they were few and far between. Hightower spent most of the season on the practice squad, though he did get elevated for one game. Despite the Eagles often using one of their four weekly practice squad protections on him, they did not sign Hightower to a futures contract immediately following the season.
