Cardinals Get A Gem In Tim Hightower…

The Arizona Cardinals may have drafted the next Marion Barber in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Hightower is from a small school - Richmond - so he was well under the radar. The 6′0″, 230 pound RB is a powerful runner and can contribute by catching the ball out of the backfield. He has the potential to take over the featured role sometime soon in AZ as 30-year-old Edgerrin James continues to slow down. He reminds us of Brandon Jacobs a few years back, a big, late round back from a small school with high upside.
