Former NFL RB Tim Hightower debuts in FXFL Friday

The agent of former NFL running back Tim Hightower announced on Twitter that his client will be playing for the FXFL as part of the Blacktips on Friday, in their game with the Brooklyn Bolts.

The 28-year old Hightower was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft, after playing college football at the University of Richmond.

Hightower was a member of the 2008 NFC Champions, scoring the winning touchdown for the Cardinals in the 2008 NFC Championship Game, and subsequently appearing in Super Bowl XLII.

Hightower was traded in July of 2011 to the Washington Redskins, and was placed on the injured reserve due to a torn ACL soon after. Hightower was later cut in 2012.

Hightower will play for the Blacktips as they take on the undefeated Brooklyn Bolts at MCU Park in Brooklyn.
