BJ Hill DL NFL Draft

OVERALL

B.J. Hill had no problem finding and flowing to the football in the NC State defense. Scouts questioned his play strength, regardless of his 35 reps at the combine, and his ability to anchor and maintain gap control. Hill was very productive against the run and will look to continue that same level of play in the NFL as a two-down defensive tackle.

GRADE: 6.25 (Round 3)
