Here's why I like Stephen Hill. I acknowledge that he's got great size and speed, all very atttractive, but that's not it. When he came in to this draft process he was perceived as a raw WR who dropped the ball too much and couldn't run anything but the Go route. However, as this draft process has continued, Hill hasn't put a foot wrong. I don't think he dropped a ball at the combine and looked sharp in his routes. By all accounts the same applies to his pro day.
So if, the criticisms of Stephen Hill are right, what that means is that he's worked his butt off as this draft season has progressed to improve the very things he was criticised for. Not only that, he's shown the self-awareness to realise that he's needed to work on his issues and the intelligence to become better. Maybe he's not ready to run in our complex offense yet but to me, he's shown all the intangibles to suggest that if anyone has a chance, it might be him.
