Overview

  • Both teams sent their general managers to a workout to scout Hill, according to a report cited by The Sporting News.
  • The Cowboys also reportedly met Hill for a private dinner before Texas' Pro Day.
  • At Pro Day, Hill said it would be a blessing to play in Dallas with former Longhorn DeMarvion Overshown.
  • NFL.com rates Hill as a three-down prospect and notes 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and eight forced fumbles at Texas along with a 4.51-second 40, a 37-inch vertical, and 21 bench reps at the combine.
  • Some scouts questioned his current build and said he needs weight-room work, while projections place him within range of Carolina at No. 19 and Dallas at No. 21.
