History could be repeating itself. Last season, former Ohio State receiver Terry McLaurin showed out at Senior Bowl practices and improved his draft stock greatly. It’s why guys take part in these sorts of things. It resulted in the Washington Redskins taking a chance on him and he didn’t disappoint, becoming one of the top rookie receivers in the league.
Now, it appears another Buckeye pass-catcher is making similar waves. There have been a couple of pass-patterns shared to Twitter that shows K.J. Hill’s route-running and moves that made opposing defensive backs look awfully foolish during 1:1 drills this week.
First, here’s Hill putting a DB in the washing machine and spins him around with counter moves.
There’s also video of Hill running a sharp pattern then changing directions to blow past the DB — leaving him on the ground.
Lastly, watch as Hill runs a perfect timing route, cuts to the outside and works back to the ball, giving the DB no shot.
Just like McLaurin last year, we might want to keep an eye on Hill and his continued performance during this Senior Bowl event. Then watch as his draft status begins to improve.
How about those Ohio State wide-receivers?
