I don't recall Hill making any first or second team all-America lists last year, nor was he a Heisman finalist. I'd take Hill over almost any back in America last year, but LSU rotates backs too much for one guy to rack up the mega-stats.

I'm not disagreeing with the philosophy, just pointing out that at least this year, Fournette won't be getting a trip to NYC.

Hill playing all year would have been 240 car 1654 yards 19 TDs, 21 rec 214 yards. Those are 2nd team All-American stats.

It's All American list! After Hill's well documented run ins with the law and his missing playing time, he wasn't making that list without big numbers and big impacts on national games.

Seven yards a carry playing in the SEC for a starting RB would normally get a player on some AA list.
