1/15/09 – (East-West Shrine Game Practice): A slightly strained left hamstring will sideline him for possibly the rest of the week and the game, although he will remain in Houston with a chance to rehab here. If his injury improves, he may attempt to play in Saturday's game.
1/13/09 - (East-West Shrine Game Practice): Very quick off the ball, shed initial blockers in most of his one-on-one reps, made good use of his hands and stood out among DT's.
8/1/08 - One of the most athletic big men in the 2009 draft crop, Hill remains very raw and unpolished. He will need to enhance his technique but great potential exists. One unknown fact about Hill is that he can do a 360-degree dunk with a basketball, which shows just how well he can control his body. Hill registered 52 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, an interception, four forced fumbles, and three pass breakups as a junior. On the interception, he batted the ball, caught, and rumbled 38 yards for a touchdown. If Hill receives a combine invite, expect him to turn heads. He carries a priority free agent grade entering the season but could emerge as a late-round pick when all is said and done.
