Timmons is the coverage/athletic ILB with Harrison + Woodley on the outsides in the 3-4.

Hightower would step in at Farrior's run stuffing spot.

He's a 4.6/4.7 guy which is good for a 3-4 ILB of his size.

Hightower would be a good fit for the Steelers, he's also very versatile. You could line him up outside or even as a down lineman in addition to ILB.

He got a bad rep from his 2010 season, Hightower isn't that bad in coverage. Other than a token zone coverage and sliding out to cover flats, 34 ILBs aren't really suppose to be great cover men.

Good closing speed, useless timed speed be damned...
