4 Ohio State Buckeyes who upgrade Philadelphia Eagles immediately
Unlike Chase Young and Jeff Okudah, K.J. Hill is a realistic option for Philly. Some see him as a second-round or third-round prospect, but if that third-round grade holds, Hill could help the ‘Birds’ by locking down one of their starting spots at the wideout position.
The week he spent at the Senior Bowl worked out pretty well for him. He has strong sure hands, and he runs routes very well. For those that didn’t know him beforehand, he jumped on quite a few radars in 2018 after his touchdown in a nationally televised game versus the Penn State Nittany Lions helped the Buckeyes escape with a one-point win in a game that they trailed in for the majority of the contest.
Before 2019’s campaign, Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin bolted for the pros, making Hill, without question, one of the major focal points of Ohio State’s offense. This past season, the six-foot, 192-pound target hauled in 57 receptions for 636 yards and ten touchdowns. That gives him 201 receptions for 2,332 yards and 20 touchdowns for his brilliant 50-game collegiate career.
He can play both inside and outside at the professional level.
