Time will tell how Dont’a Hightower looks at the start of the 2019 NFL season.

But right now, the New England Patriots linebacker looks like a whole new man.

Hightower, 29, worked out Thursday with Patriots guard Shaq Mason, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Benny Cunningham and Jeremy Holt, a former receiver for Division II Harding University. Holt shared a photo of the four players after the workout, and Hightower looks borderline unrecognizable.

Haha don’t do thay quice lol I’m bout 250-255 tho haha — Dont'a Hightower (@zeus30hightower) April 13, 2019

As Hightower said, he’s currently operating around 250-255 pounds. And while that’s not a steep drop off from Hightower’s listed weight of 260 pounds, it certainly shows the three-time Super Bowl champion is putting in work this offseason.

For what it’s worth, Hightower came into the NFL at 270 pounds.
