This is a good point that I hadn't even considered.

When you look into the stats a little more, I think his perception drops a little more. Sure, he's 6th in FBS in rushing...but he's just 97th in yards per carry.

This junior class is loaded, and I'm guessing most of them will go pro early. Names like Leoard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Royce Freeman, Nick Chubb all have more name value across the country. Looking closer to home, I think a guy like Jeremy McNichols will get more pub than Hill because he went to Boise.

Hill is currently rated by CBS Sports as a 5th to 6th round pick and just the 18th-best RB of the potential draft class. At that point, is it really worth it?

Scouts aren't always looking at that though, and they usually won't blame an OL for an RB's struggles when watching tape. You don't always have an all-american OL. What are you doing behind a mediocre line?

Now I won't say he is super blocker but I'm sorry NFL backs don't block much unless it's a blitz or someone gets through the line and there are not a lot off great blocking backs

Also you guys not recall the Fresno game Hill can catch just fine.

He's not often sent out for routes, but usually kept as an extra blocker or for the playaction.

Hill is a Huge playmaker. Why don't they use him coming out of the backfield with a linebacker to beat. I'd take that match up all day but the don't. Why are they limiting our biggest asset. Unless?
