Oldcat Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I would say for this year then...see ya I think so - he can mentor the others and then move on. He's still a decent short yardage or blocking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Â Overview Was a top Louisiana prep running back in 2010, rushing 302 times for 2,260 yards (7.5-yard average) and 36 touchdowns en route to being named to the Parade All-America team. Before graduating high school, though, he was arrested on sexual assault charges. Sat out the 2011 season and enrolled at LSU early the following year, participating in spring drills. Made his collegiate debut in the fall of '12 and played in 11 games (five starts), rushing 142-755-12 (5.3) and catching 8-73-0 (9.1). Did not play in LSU's first two games and carried just 13 times through six weeks, but went on to lead the Tigers in rushing. Started the final five games; in his first college start, he became the first true LSU freshman to rush for 100 yards against Alabama (29-107-1). Ran afoul of the law again in April '13, as he was arrested and charged with simple battery after being caught on video punching a man outside a bar near campus. After pleading guilty to a predatory attack for the second time in 15 months, he was given a six-month suspended jail sentence and two years of probation; as a result, he was to be on probation until July 12, 2015, but early termination of Hill's probation was granted by a judge in March. Was suspended by coach Les Miles for the '13 opener and for the first quarter of LSU's ensuing game. Once he returned to the field, he registered one of the top seasons in school history, rushing 203-1,401-16 (6.9) and catching 18-181-0 (10.1) in 12 games (11 starts). His rushing total was the second-best single-season mark in school history, while his average yards per carry established an SEC record (eclipsing Garrison Hearst's 6.8 in 1992). Tied a school mark with seven 100-yard games, including a 28-216-2 performance in the Outback Bowl. Concluded his two-year college career with 2,410 all-purpose yards and no fumbles lost. Â Strengths Outstanding size. Good initial quickness -- gets rolling downhill in a hurry. Quick feet for a bigger back. Slashes through holes. Spins off tackles and picks up yards after contact. Shows good hands in limited exposure -- effective short receiver. Productive in a pro-style power offense -- averaged nearly 7 yards per carry as a sophomore. Â Weaknesses Average vision and balance. Shows some hip tightness and does not string moves together. Can do a better job running behind his pads between the tackles -- enters the hole upright, negating his ability to move the pile. Gears down to cut laterally and slide to another hole. Average second-level burst. Lacks elite top-end speed to pull away from the pack and can be tracked down before reaching the edge. Was not used extensively as a receiver and did not run a variety of routes. Was contained by Alabama. Has a 29-inch vertical jump. Character, maturity and stability must be investigated thoroughly. Â Draft Projection Rounds 2-3 Â Bottom Line Big, thickly built, athletic slasher with an overinflated sense of his abilities and character red flags, which could cause some teams to shy away. Fits best in a downhill scheme and has potential to be a 20-carry back in the NFL, but must run to his size more consistently and prove his unstable behavior is behind him.

Oldcat Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 If he's not gone I am really confused by this pick. He's not that expensive and good insurance. Why not keep him unless he flat can't play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 "Ball security is no issue - he fumbled once in 371 carries." Now THAT's something I didn't know and very interesting. BJGE was very un-BJGE like in that respect once he got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esjbh2 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Dayum, do we get some of those LSU OLinemen as part of this deal??? Hill had some impressive holes to run thru. Not that he's not impressive in and of himself, but nice blocking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like the pick (he was on my list), and to me he was the best in-between the tackles runner in the draft. He can be the battering ram to loosen up the defense for Bernard to pop. Outstanding size (the best of all the RB prospects) and is of that old school Corey Dillon mold (with all the arrests that come with it). But I think Marvin can keep him in line hopefully, because if so, he strengthens the Bengals offense as the last piece to the puzzle (as far as RB & WR).
