Check it out. Nice to see J-Hill getting some love for coming back as a senior! Still, I look at the NFL draft results for this year, and I believe that had Hill come out this year, he would have for SURE been a day-1 draft pick. Maybe not a first-rounder, but he’s a more accomplished WR than Santonio Holmes in regards to pure production and he went late in the first round. Hopefully this can be Hill’s “Brandon Roy” season and he’ll be a top-10 pick next year?
Oh yeah, check out the D-ends too. Would be nice to see both Mkristo and Hill go on day 1 in 2007. I would also imagine that character and the term “upside” will be thrown around alot in regards to Mkristo!
Finally, Kenny Irons of Auburn is the #2 RB, and for good reason. He’s a HORSE. And probably the biggest reason we’re going to run out of gas late in that game in September. We’ll start out strong, but they will wear us down in that oppressive heat and humidity and that kid is going to be dragging tacklers by the end. That’s the one downside to having a fast defense, you know? Speed gets tired, especially on foreign soil when it’s brutally hot. But, who knows, maybe Brink and Hill hook up for like 3 scores and we build a big early lead and they can’t rely on the run? Of course we saw the same thing at Notre Dame a few years ago, and they STILL wore us out with Julius Jones at the end. And that was a GREAT defense.
