K.J. Hill vs. Lavert Hill

We are flipping sides here for another 2020 NFL Draft matchup between skill positions and defensive backs.

K.J. Hill is someone that this writer has been a fan of since summer scouting. He moves all over the formation for the Buckeyes, whether it be lining up in the slot or on either of the outside spots. Hill has great quickness that affects all elements of his game. His fluidity helps him create instant separation no matter where he is on the field. He can create separation underneath and down the field. Hill has great hands as well and has the speed once he separates to be a big time playmaker.

K.J. Hill has to deal with a good defensive back on the other side. Lavert Hill is a solid cornerback for the Wolverines and has put together a good season. He plays a lot on the outside and is good sticking with receivers down the field and making plays in the air. His ability to flip his hips and run shows his good technique and that he can hang with these receivers today.

Keep an eye out for when K.J. Hill and Lavert Hill match up in this one.
