Potential Eagles 2022 draft prospect Daxton Hill
Remember when we talked about all of that talent the Wolverines need to replace? Yeah, we may have forgotten to mention Daxton Hill. Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz would have loved this guy. He’s one of those guys that has the skill set to suggest that he can be one of those ‘positionless players’ Schwartz couldn’t stop going on and on about.
With proper coaching and a good teacher, Daxton Hill has the potential to be what Eagles fans thought they were supposed to be getting with K’Von Wallace.
Remember when we said Wallace lined up everywhere for the Clemson Tigers and might be able to do that at the pro level for Philly? Well, that hasn’t happened yet, at least not right now. We have seen Hill do that for the Maize and Blue though. We slot him slightly ahead of his former teammate Hawkins for two reasons.
One, Hill seems to pop off of the screen more. Second, Hill can play deep, or he can line up closer to the line of scrimmage to play a little slot corner if need be.
The NFL is an entirely different game. We all know that, but it will be interesting to see if Hill’s skill set translates to the NFL. Heaven help opposing offenses if it does. This young man and his former teammate should be joys to watch at the pro level.
