Highsmith is a complete edge defender with enough rush skill and discipline to keep offenses from focusing entirely on Watt. He wins with effort and technique, though health always matters at this position.

Strengths: Pass-rush craft, run defense, motor, experience and starter reliability.

Weaknesses: Injury-risk workload and slightly lower elite burst than top-tier peers.
