Niners sign Tim Hightower

Apr 1, 2017 at 9:46 AM
Another guy who played for Shanny (and Bobby Turner) knows the scheme and he is comfortable with. Solid veteran signing. I hope he is not our #2 back though

Lol if this is an April Fools joke, that's a sorry attempt.

Not a bad signing, if it works out solid backup and if not a guy that can help teach the offense. Like most of the moves, build the middle/back end of the roster.

548 yards rushing, 200 receiving and 5 total tds as a backup isn't bad at all.

I love this signing. He's a great receiver out of the backfield and makes the team better. High character guy as well, he'll be a great leader in the locker room

He's a young 30. I think he sat out 3 seasons. He may or may not make the team. Decent move. Nothing to get worked up about

Knows the system and has played for Shanny and Bobby Turner as well. Decent move.

Odds are that Hightower, Davis and Fumbles are competing for the final spot at RB after the team drafts a RB somewhere in the middle rounds.

High character. Knows the system. Has played for Shanny and Bobby Turner. Solid receiver and a good goal-line back.

Sounds like he got an STD.

































































Short Term Deal.

He will be a good locker room guy, goal line back and mentor to the guy we draft. I think he will only be here for a year

Before anyone goes berzerk in here RELAX ppl we are still drafting a RB, Hyde is not reliable + this is his contract yr, Harris got a 1 yr deal N i expect Hightower to get between a 1 or 2 yr deal. So nothing is set in stone. Just more competition.

He's a guy that Shanny knows and will be a veteran presence in the locker room.
