Seattle or Minnesota. Both places embrace physical running, he could be a star at either venue.

That last run from hill does remind me of Lynch's beast mode run to make the playoffs.

Seattle would be a good spot for him. And funny thing is, I thought of the Beast Mode comp after that run too...along with the one at CSU.

As a Vikings fan, I would LOVE if we drafted him. I've been hyping him like crazy on Vikings boards I frequent. I do know though that some fans are concerned about his pass-catching abilities. Sadly, a lot of fans here want to get away from the Adrian Peterson style of two-down RB, which is the mold they see Hill being.

Another interesting option to me is Oakland, though I know Wyoming/Denver fans probably would have a hard time rooting for a Raider. Pagano needs a RB, how about Indy?

That's the million dollar question. I would love it if he stayed for his senior year. Plus, this year is loaded with RBs headed to the draft.

I'd love to see him stay, but if he has a round 1-4 evaluation he gone. This year's class is stacked at running back, so that may factor into his decision.
 
I wouldn't blame him if he left early, there's always the risk that you blow out a knee/shoulder if you stick around your senior year, and then your pro future is guaranteed to be gone. On the other hand, there's also the recent fate of Brett Smith to ponder, but I'd argue that Hill has a much better chance of making it.
 
I would love to see him go to the Packers.

I believe he will be gone if he sees the money, and I will applaud and support him all the way as I know all of us would. But how great would it be to have him his senior year?? wow, he is special. And the thing is...he is so humble...so grateful for his team...and a true cowboy. He loves Wyoming and so does his entire family. He is my favorite player of all time...he just took the spot from Mitch Donahue. He is such a BEAST!!!!!!!
 
If you look at tape of Walter Payton, you will see a remarkable similarity to Brian Hill, both in style and substance. As a lifelong Bears fan (yeah I know), I would love to see him stay in Illinois after he leaves Wyoming.
 
Hey, you guys can't be hogging all the B Hill for your favorite teams. He's going to Denver to my favorite team. :D

I just hope he doesn't end up in a place where NFL running backs go to die....like Detroit.

A video of Payton...should show some real similarities to Brian Hill's running style:

Though, Hill has 3 inches and 20lbs on Payton right now. But yeah, very similar style of running. Nothing fancy, just powering through tacklers that didn't have him completely wrapped up.
 
He would likely go as the 5th back in the draft if he left early based on assumptions of other backs likely to enter.

His draft stock may not go up staying in Wyoming another year.

Most likely backs to be in this upcoming draft based on nothing more than assumption.

Leonard Fournette*, RB, LSU
Height: 6-1. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Projected Round (2017): Top-10 Pick.

Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
Height: 6-0. Weight: 203.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Projected Round (2017): Top-25 Pick.

Christian McCaffrey*, RB, Stanford
Height: 6-1. Weight: 200.
Projected 40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round (2017): 1-2.

Nick Chubb*, RB, Georgia
Height: 5-10. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Projected Round (2017): 1-2.

Those are the top 4 there are a lot of backs that will be in this draft.

Putting himself in that draft with those names IMO is early career suicide. Not that he isn't every bit as good as anyone on that list but he is in a G5 conference. playing a position that doesn't get near the attention.

There are 25 backs on that list and I think Hill is better than a lot of them but if Pumphrey is projected in the 4-5 round range Hill won't be in much better position.
