02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The West Coast timing passing game emphasizes precision routes and timing, complementing a power run scheme.

X-receiverboundary receiver
Best role

Initially a deep threat and red-zone target with the potential to develop into a reliable outside receiver.

Wrong fit

A complex, multiple-read passing offense that demands intricate route running and immediate processing.

Hill's raw athletic traits make him a project, best utilized in a system that can simplify his reads and maximize his speed.

04The evaluation

Selected #43 overall in Round 2 of the 2012 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Georgia Tech.
