Jacob Hill could be a big small package surprise this season

[CaliCuse]

At 5'6" he has an amazing ability to stop and come back to top speed in just a few steps. His cutting ability in the open field is amazing. I cans him as a big time return player for both puts and kicks. Look for yourself.

 

[Jake]

Needs more cowbell.

Seriously though, dude has serious straight line speed in pads. That is elite speed.

 

[Toga]

Someone teach him how to return punts. Please. Big time potential as a return guy.

YES!

 

[retro44]

10.7 hundred meters......is that fast enough

 

[Faegan]

Darren Sproles? Such a love/hate relationship I've had with that guy.

Great odens raven

 

[RICuse44]

I would take a Jamel riddle like player in a heartbeat.

 

[kcsu]

what a great find the kid has jets im thinking that he finds his way to playing this year

 

[orangenauburn]

His change of direction and acceleration are incredible ... Cannot believe no B10 saw him

Needs to go somewhere with a grad assistant and a punt gun - for 3 hours a day.

 

[Jake]

I see him as a KO return guy. Punt returners are a different breed. You have to be half crazy, shifty, and have great hands to field punts.

I think his straight line speed is a better fit for Ko's.

But what do I know...

 

[FAL]

Needs more cowbell.

At least no jangling keys.

Kid is scary fast! Whoa!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Dave Meggett light?

 

[creatorsgam]

Like a Dante "The Human Joystick" Hall?

 

[Toga]

Dave Meggett light?

Preferably Very light.
"Meggett's current release date is slated for July 2034."

 

[SUFan44]

It's great to have legit options...

Hope he gets a shot and does well.

 

[kcsu]

The all time leading rusher for Syracuse is only an inch taller than this kid

 

[brandokc]

Great, now he's been "Elon Mitchelled."
I played for Westhill back in the early 90's and to my uninformed eye, that looks like Class C competition.

That being said, I'll keep with the Chiefs theme and say he reminds me of a Dante Hall/Dexter McCluster/D'Anthony Thomas type player. Small but slippery and quick.
For another KC reference I'll quote Jarrod Dyson, "that's what speed do."

 

[RF2044]

Impressive find for a preferred walk on. Wouldn't be surprising to see him contributing at some point down the road.

Reminds me a lot of that kid from NC [Eason?] we were considering offering.

 

[cuse309]

I want to see him and Moe returning kicks next year. No matter who gets the ball, they'll have blazing speed to go along with the "where the is he" factor among the trees.

 

[Ottoble]

Ball security will be the biggest thing if they are going to use him they need to give him the same level of training and S&C as other backs and make sure his ball security is highest quality. Otherwise Id absolutely love to see him returning kicks, Fast, elusive, difficult to see behind blockers and stout, looked like a bowling ball out there.

 

[Pyle]

Darren Sproles? Such a love/hate relationship I've had with that guy.

I was thinking more like a Mel Gray, return specialist extraordinaire.

 

[rocklloyd]

I watched this kid in the scrimmage and was amazied. Now maybe he was playing against the 2 and 3's, but you can't teach the shiftiness and speed that I saw.

What I liked most about his performance at fanfest was how much the rest of the offense was jacked up when he scored. Like he's been on the team forever, which means he's quickly integrated himself on the team.

 

[jgeorge322]

what i like is how he uses his speed, more specifically, his change in speed to open up holes. this kid can accelerate and decelerate like a vette.
