He is saving him for when he unleashes his secret playbook.

See: his freshman year, his soph year, his Jr. year, his senior year. Wasted.

And he's still a projected draft pick. Just doesn't fit into Les' junior high school offense.

It wasn't wasted.

He sucked. If he were any better, he wouldn't have gotten jumped by so many other players.

Link?

...and if he can't fit into a pro-style offense in college, what makes you think he's going to fit into the NFL?

Do you honestly think he is a better receiver than Beckham, Landry, or Boone? Or a better running back than Hill, Ware, Ford, etc?

That's why he wasnt given a single touch. Sorry your rivals dreams didnt come true.

There are more talented players on the roster. If anything we didn't give Hill enough touches.

A 180 lb WR that can't catch or run routes is going to be a star.

Yea an undersized WR who cant catch will really turn some heads in the NFL.

They didn't want to interrupt his train of thought while he was writing his book on the sideline.

He's played both WR and RB this year.

So where exactly should he have gotten more playing time, in your opinion? Defensive end?

So was he a talented WR?

Why didn't get on the field over Beckham or Landry? Or even Boone and Wright?

You're calling people idiots but you're saying a talent was wasted and hoping a WR that couldn't play in a pro-style system could be a star in the NFL?
