Final Report
Hill was one of the best linebackers in the country the past two seasons rocking up all American honors both years. There isn’t a blade of grass on the field isn’t willing to cover. He can run sideline to sidelines chasing ball carriers. He is comfortable in coverage with a good back pedal and does not hesitate rallying to the ball. He is incredibly effective as a blitzer racking up some nice box score production with 31.5 TFL’s and 17 sacks in his college career. Hill likes to tackle high and times and it sometimes can lead to misses and for ball carriers to get extra yardage. He can play soft at times when engaged with blockers and you want to see him get better about moving when things are muddy around him. Hill is a 3 down linebacker with good length and coverage skills. If he can work on blockers shedding he is going to be a good starter in the league for a while.
