Goodnight Will Hill

by mlmintampa on Jan 10, 2011 11:09 PM EST in Florida Football

The Gainesville Sun spoke to Will Hill's father who said that Hill will declare for the NFL Draft.

Hill was fifth on the Gators with 54 tackles in 2010. He also had two interceptions this season, including one in overtime against Georgia. He had four interceptions and 119 tackles in his three-year career.

Man was he over rated coming out of high school.

Not saying he was as bad as some people like to say. But he is know where near what scouts said of him coming out of high school. I am surprised that he is coming out, he wont be very high of a draft pick.

And the secondary improves

He really came on strong the second half of the season.

Yeah, he was absent the first half (Hell, he was suspended the first two games), but he got good again towards the end.

Still, I think this is a pretty grievous error, what with his draft stock not being particularly high, and the lockout looming…

He’s pretty much guaranteed himself a career in the CFL and/or Arena football…

He had one game where he played well all season...

Georgia…

Other than that Hill was a non-factor all season long…

You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...

I will trade Janoris for Hill any day of the week

Dumb, dumb move. Must be broke. Oh well. At least we have Janoris back and guys behind him. So next year our secondary should be pretty good if we can get a pass rush, which seems to be Quinn’s specialty.

I'm not quite ready to call him a NFL bust

After all, I was pretty sure Major Wright was making a huge mistake in leaving last year and it’s worked out pretty damn well for him so far. However, Hill has always seemed… don’t know if lazy is really the right word but it works I suppose… so I’m not particularly optimistic about this working out like he might hope.
