Anthony Hill Jr's Player Profile

Anthony Hill is a physical, downhill linebacker whose profile is built on aggression, sideline?to?sideline range, and the ability to attack the line of scrimmage with a violent edge. At Texas, he showed the ability to flow to the football, set a strong edge, and finish tackles with a physical, competitive style that fits well in traditional 4?3 and 3?4 schemes. His ability to play in the box, take on blocks, and still run to the ball gives him appeal as an early?down, three?down defender who can grow into a middle?level leader in the NFL.

Strengths: His biggest strengths are his physicality and ability to attack the football, which make him a reliable early?down run?defender, and his toughness and competitive motor, which allow him to play with a nasty edge against both the run and the pass.

Weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses are his occasionally inconsistent coverage technique, which can make it harder for him to match up confidently in space against athletic tight ends and receivers, and his need for better gap discipline, as he can overrun plays and create cutback lanes when he over?pursues.

Walt - Walter Football- January 20th: "Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career."

NFL Draft Buzz- January: "Hill brings a rare combination of downhill thumping and sideline-to-sideline range that will translate immediately at the next level. The film shows a linebacker who plays with controlled violence and instinctual feel beyond his years - traits that consistently allowed him to be the best player on the field in crucial SEC matchups."
