Linebackers

  • Dont’a Hightower
  • Elandon Roberts
  • Kyle Van Noy
  • Jamie Collins
  • Ja’Whaun Bentley
  • Christian Sam

Hightower has been a great leader and good player for New England since getting drafted in 2012. Roberts and Van Noy are two athletic, fast linebackers who start alongside Hightower. Collins will look to regain the form he had in New England before being traded away a couple of years ago. Bentley and Sam are two young players who add depth and help on Special Teams.

Player to watch: Terez Hall
