SKOR North discussed bold predictions for the Vikings’ season recently and Holton Hill’s name came up.
Judd Zulgad predicted that Hill will not only play in all 16 regular season games for Minnesota, but that he will have three interceptions, despite only having one in two NFL seasons.
Here’s what he said:
“I think Holton Hill is going to be used extensively,” Zulgad said. “I think Holton Hill is going to keep his nose clean and prove that he’s a pretty good player and I think that he will have three or more picks, because he is going to get picked on by quarterbacks, and I think he’s better than they probably think he is.”
Hill has a chance to step up into a bigger role this season after 2019 starters Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes both signed elsewhere in the offseason.
Rookie Jeff Gladney gets the spotlight as the first-round pick, but Hill definitely has a shot at nickel corner or one of the two spots out wide.
