K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State Discussion

[Boltjolt]

Herbert threw mostly short passes last season. Tons of 0 to 5 yards throws. Did you mean Tyrod?

[Classic]

KJ practiced every day against the best in college football, played against the best in college football and he thrived. Had some of the best coaching in college football. Pro ball should not intimidate him.

He doesn't have the speed Travis Benjamin had but he'll be far more sure handed than #12 ever was.

I assumed this guy went in the 3rd when I wasn’t watching. Far more potential than Reed.

Adam Humphries is the comp I've heard. I like that comparison. Physical slot who can get open, not necessarily with speed, but with crisp routes.

Sorry, so MANY short passes.

Hill should be a good fit for that type of offense. Lots of quick swings, short outs, short crosses, maybe some quick screens...

[Lone Bolt]

I keep waiting to hear he just had a surgery, or a flagged drug test or something...I just assumed there was a good reason he dropped. Turns out he has short arms and smallish catch radius...lol. In a deep WR class, the scouts nit picked a hell of a receiver right down to us in the seventh. Really happy with the adds we made to the receiving corps. This guy is gonna catch a lot of balls for us.

Do you ever wonder why when it wasn't the case in the past? Maybe not Herberts choice.

Im good with a death by a thousand cuts offense.

I actually think Hill is going to be more of the Wes Welker, super quick guy who takes short passes and gets a lot of YAC. He also creates a huge amount of separation for a WR who runs the speed of a RB. I do think he is a bit faster than his 4.6 40, but he is a one speed guy, so he is never going to be a Travis Benjamin guy who runs past a FS when they get caught flat footed. Hill may juke the guy out of his jock making a cut, and get by, but he isn't going to just run by someone, like a speed guy potentially do.

He is getting knocked by some for not being a big catch radius guy (he's not 6'4" or 6'5" , but Tyrell Williams was big, had a really nice big catch radius and he never won jump balls, really couldn't catch anything outside his frame, or win contested ball from the DB. Hill is a guy who is going to maximize his catch radius, he catches everything and adjust to some poorly thrown passes, wins contested passes and plucks some bad passes.

I think he fell, because there are a lot of slot guys out there, and this year especially, there are so many good WR, teams could be pretty picky. I think if you just watch him play, he is a much better guy, but years like this teams discount guys like him because there are so many good choices.

So this guy was our 3rd round pick basically? Freaking nice!

I had the same thought when we picked him.

[Hadl2Alworth]

I love the toughness we added at WR. Thank you Tommy!
