The article is clearly biased towards the SEC, and does not point out the tangible difference to in why Hightower is better than Kuechly other than he played on a lesser team against lesser competition. Sometimes, players on a national team like Hightower are exposed later on as being a product of the talent around him, while Kuechly may excel in the NFL with talent he is not used to have around him. What do yo think Kuechly's draft status would have been if he was not playing for Boston College but for Alabama instead.
