It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Hills performance at the combine was sensational, but lets temper the excitement just a little bit. He ran the worst 3 cone drill of all the wide receivers and it was not even close. I do not want the Patriots to draft a guy who will be limited to running the 9 route. Obviously we as fans do not have the luxury of sitting this kid down and getting him on the chalk board or out to do some additional route running drills, but for him to jump to 1st round is a little much for me.
According to NFL.com, Hill ran the 3-cone in 6.88, which is good enough for 10th overall, the same as Sanu, and nowhere near the worst (McNutt and Criner at 7.15).

He meant the short shuttle, where Hill was by far the worst performer. Not even close. Lateral agility is very important, it heavily influences the ability to gain separation, and Hill had the worst showing in the short shuttle among all WRs.
