The Cardinals wanted a physical running back and Tim Hightower is definately that as he is 6’0″ 226 pounds.  Hightower could handle either running back or fullback so it will be interesting to see how the Cardinals use him.  Hightower rushed for over 1,900 yards as a senior with the Richmond Spiders.  This is a huge jump in competition so it will be interesting to see how he responds to the challenge.  He also is a ace on special teams and that’s where he will likely make an impact as a rookie for the Cardinals.
