Maybe that's why people think of Hilliard as a what if regarding lb. at least anyone who has ever seen him play it.

Oh i can handle a what if he played at LB, hypothetically speaking. Sure. Eugene and Louis could be good RBs in college too.

But, you said Hilliard could be an All American LB.

No ive seen him play a couple of times. He was a damn good LB. I was at the redemptorist vs Patterson game where he shut down Hill.

So, you trust scouts / high school coaches more than you trust LSUs coaches?? The coaches that have been with him through his enitre collegiate football career?? Also, John Chavis is 1 of the best LB coaches of all time. And hes seen him everyday for multiple years on the football field.

Again, there is a reason hes at RB and not at LB. And theres also a reason why hes not playing that much at RB.

Magee has nothing to do with Hilliard. If you did some research too, you would see I called Magee breaking out some time ago too. But saying Hilliard would be an All American at LB is absurd.

And your basing your argument off of what he did against 3A high school football. Most of the OL in high school are the same size as HIlliard, around 245-250lbs. Im sure he dominated them. Doesnt mean he would be able to go up against some of the top OL in the nation in college.

I think it's more about what some perceive as a lack of motor/toughness/mean-streak than just physical ability to play a position.
