I think he is the best running back in the country right now

Maybe even in the past 3 years

If I'm Jeremy Hill and I'm not...the last person I want to be compared to is Cecil Colllins...

Guys, he was playing with a 40pts lead against a demoralized tired defense.

Yes he looked good, but consider this: Mark Ingram, behind Bama's amazing O-line he wins the heisman, for the Saints he rarely gets over 2 yards a carry.

Hill vs Idaho in clean up duty may not correlate to vs Florida.

Runs more like Alley Broussard before he got hurt.

...based on the last 8:00 of a game against Idaho when the game was well in hand.

I'll pass on making any judgements on how good Hill is until I see him get meaningful snaps and get some SEC game time.

was very impressed with Jeremy Hill in the Idaho game. His balance, size, speed, pad level seem to be a very unique package. He carries his weight very well and seems to be the most natural running back since Cecil Collins talent wise


He has 10 career touches

He's got talent for sure but dang let's hold of on GOAT esque comments.

Also remember too that LES BURNED HIS REDSHIRT! Clearly he was was going to redshirt because people on here thought he was going to redshirt. Common sense tells you that obviously playing the guy week three means he had no intentions of letting him play at all this year. It wasn't a big game and four of our RB's went down so clearly they planned on saving his redshirt Idiots making that argument kill me.

He ran against Idaho late in the 4th quarter. People need to calm down.

I liked what I saw, but I like what I see in all of our RB's. What a stable of studs we have.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want any current LSU RB compared to Cecil Collins.

Unless this was an intentional troll of Hill and Collins.

Too early to say. But I was encouraged by what I saw in the spring and in fall camp.


Too early to tell about ball security, blocking, etc. but I saw enough on two runs to say he's probably our best ball carrier. His speed differentiates him from Ware. His acceleration differentiates him from Hilliard. His size and power differentiates himself from everyone else.

It's a bit too early to say Sanders can compare to Hill.
I think it's wise to let history judge whether Sanders can live up to such standards. It's just too soon...

Hill is much bigger than CC and not currently incarcerated. He should be compared to Marcus Dupree or the Mich. St. RB LeVeon Bell.

I am comparing Jeremy Hill to all the past and current LSU running backs! That is it and that is all. In my opinion he is the best pure talent since Cecil Collins. Thank you and
