Bottom Line on Trevon Hill
When it’s all said and done, Trevon Hill has the potential to make his mark on the league one day. With his great motor and impressive drive, Hill has the potential to make an NFL team as a quality backup and special teams player. Despite all of his good qualities, Hill does have some less-than-impressive traits that could scare NFL teams away. The reason Hill was forced to transfer to Miami for his senior season was that Virginia Tech had dismissed him from their football program. The dismissal came after a blowout loss during his junior season and, while it’s never been stated exactly what he did to earn the dismissal, one can only assume it must’ve been pretty ugly.
Hopefully, once he enters the NFL, Hill will begin to take his off-the-field matters seriously as one mistake in the league can cost you your job. In the end, Hill has the talent and size it takes to play the EDGE rusher position in the NFL, but he needs to be placed in the correct situation. If he’s able to find himself in the right scheme, Hill has the potential to have a long, quality career in the NFL.
