Wow... Compared him to Steven Jackson...

quote:

COMPARES TO: LeGarrette Blount, New England Patriots - Considering their size, punishing downhill running style and, unfortunately, character red flags, Blount is an easy comparison for Hill. Hill is a better athlete than Blount and boasts superior vision, lateral agility and speed, which could lead him to earning much more of a featured role in the NFL than the time-share Blount has played in most of his NFL career. With commitment, Hill could be the second coming of Steven Jackson.

I don't think he's like either of those players.

Funny thing is Ridley is NE best back if he doesn't have the fumble issues, but now suddenly Blount is supposed to be. Gimmee a break!

Actually Vereen is the best RB the Patriots have. He's more versatile. Can catch and run when called upon. Ridley is the better carrying back when he doesn't fumble.

Better than both. Hill has break away speed. To have that at his size is extremely rare.

Dont think hes that similar to either of them...

Isnt as physical as Jackson, and is more athletic than Blount.

Reminds me of Foster. Not saying he will have as good a career as Foster. But running style is similar. Big, smooth, and great in the open field. Great vision and balance.

Pass catcher, yeah. So that would make him better all around. Though I don't know about his blockin skills.

He's their 3rd down back, he's the best pass blocker of the RBs

I don't think he's anything like Blount. Hill is like Frank Gore on steroids.

Both are "punishing" runners... Which can be said for a lot of NFL backs. They literally brought up the comparison bc the trouble each got in...

DEUCE McALLISTER

6'1 225 4.38

Hill reminds me of Deuce McAllister when he was coming out of college.

Yeah, why not give an even more ridiculous comparison CBS. Why not compare him to Sproles, because you know they are just so similar, except Sproles is more elusive and faster coming out of college... just... no words
