I think the answer to this question is yes. There's no doubt this guy has something special. Faulk and Cecil had it and so does this guy. Sit back and enjoy.


Hill is very good, but I haven't seen Faulk or Cecil talent yet. I think what's missing is toughness. Ware is our only back who has that. If Hill could boil over with hate just as he receives each handoff he'd be at that level.

Hill has done a great job..Right out of Baton Rouge could be a better story.Stay Healthy and no Sophomore slump.Ware I have to say is a helluva back as well...I hate Blue got hurt becasue this would have been his year.We are blessed to have such talent!!!!cheers

NO.

He's the best since Hilliard was the best since Ware was the best since Ridley was the best since Vincent was the....

Point is, they all plateau after a certain point. Hopefully Hill will break the trend, but I don't think we'll ever have a running back that shines as long as Miles is using his (very successful) 4-5 back per game scheme.

I agree. I think Hill is good but he still has alot to learn. He doesn't hit the holes very hard like Ware IMO. He just kinda finds the hole moves through it slowly and if its not there he does that little dive forward thing. He needs to hit the hole with acceleration and use some toughness with his big body. He has good vision and top speed but hes not nearly as good as Faulk yet IMO.

Remember that SW, MF, and AB will all be seniors next year and Les is prone to play SR's before underclassmen. But this kid does seem to have it.
