'14 TX LB Kolin Hill (Texas Tech Transfer)

[IrishLax]

You guys really like him at CAT?

I think Williams and Yeargin are the cats. I think Hill is a Dog or ILB

SAM. Yeah, I went there.

 

[irishff1014]

Consider it a long weekend because Luatua will be committing tomorrow too. Lol

Bring it on!!!

 

[Brooklyn]

SAM. Yeah, I went there.

I like your thinking. Thats where I have him playing also in our 4-3 look:

In most of his highlights he is getting after the QB, and I mean getting after him. I didn't see him drop much, maybe I could see him moving inside, but he sure looks very natural pass rushing. He seems long and really good hands getting away from the OT. But I am certainly no expert.

We need the most help on the inside...At 220lbs he'll need to beef up. Absolutely love his motor!

If he is 220 he won't need that much more beef haha. Teo moved down weight to 225 his senior year to be more agile, didn't he?

 

[NDPhilly]

I think Teo was 245 his senior year. He was 255 the years prior

I thought Te'o was 240-245 as a senior.

Yeah I think you are right. My bad. Pretty sure he weighed in at the combine around 240 ish, and that was after dropping some weight.

 

[Irishman77]

Wow ! Excellent !

According to Sampson, the staff told Hill he could be an option inside

 

[rtrn2glory]

wow

just think at the beginning of the november how scary thin we were at ILB. now we have 3 and hopefully soon 4 guys that can or will play inside

 

[NDFAN22]

Does anyone know the talent he was playing against because his highlights are crazy and he looks like a man amongst boys.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Reminds me a bit of a young Reggie White.

Is tonight absurd comparison night?

Yeah, I thought the same thing about his tape, but he plays 4A in Texas so it isn't like he is playing horrible competition. There are a few theories about how he flew under the radar for so long, including the facts that he did no camps and his team was winless last year. But still, when I watched the film (without even realizing at the time he was playing in a real football league), my jaw dropped.

I was getting ready to say he reminds of a young Joe Montana with those hands of his.

Violent.

 

[Rack Em]

He reminds me of a young Mean Joe Greene

Should I have used italics? I never feel right, like it is insulting to the audience to give away the joke as you're telling it.

 

[Rack Em]

1 million vbucks Irishog77 makes a Heggie comparison

 

[arrowryan]

2014 version of Deon Hollins IMO

Hollins is faster off the line but Hill is much more violent with his hands. That's the only difference IMO

Ok I was afraid to say it because I hate comparisons and I didn't want to be ridiculed but, yes, that is exactly who I see. The first step isn't as explosive but he reminds me a lot of Hollins

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Reminds me of a young Derek Jeter.

I honestly do not know if he is going to be plugged in at CAT or not. The great thing with all of these guys we are getting I the front seven is their flexibility. Put them where they can contribute the most. The coaches have certainly given themselves plenty of options.

 

[Calabrese's People]

Reminds me of a young Carlo Calabrese.

His tape was fairly ridiculous. Looked like he was playing middle schoolers. There was a play at about the 1:10 mark where he collapses on an optioning QB to force the pitch, then pivots and chases down the pitchman for a TFL like some sort of hungry lion after an antelope.
As for comparisons, can we maybe just agree he looks like a slightly-more-explosive Shembo? I'd take that.

 

[peoriairish]

Besides the fact he spells his name wrong, this is awesome. The best part about his film to me is his speed and length. He plays a lot taller than his listed 6'2" and doesn't seem like he'll get burned on TE crossing routes or runs outside the tackle like we frequently saw earlier this season. I'm very excited about him as a prospect.

 

[Brooklyn]

On just the highlights, Clowney exceptional everything you can possibly think off in his. Kolin has very good get off the line, but thats probably his only exceptional thing he does at this point.

Comparing most prospects to Clowney coming out isn't fair though.
