6. (204) Lex Hilliard, FB
Lex Hilliard was a tailback in college but he will be a fullback in the NFL. He can do everything pretty well but he will need to adjust to the jump from Montana to the NFL. Hilliard is 5′11″, 233 and he runs a 4.7 40 so don’t expect him to run away from defenders in the NFL. He played in 50 games (28 starts) at Montana and he carried the ball 805 times for 4,018 yards (5.0 ypc) with 50 TD runs. He also caught 57 passes for 591 yards (10.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Hilliard will be the backup fullback and he will help out on special teams as a rookie.
He will not only help out but I anticipate he will excel in the NFL as a Special team player(very very physical player, could be a LB or safety in the NFL if somebody decided to make the change).
He reminds me of another great player who wore #38,2 time Pro-Bowl player Mack Strong, of the Seattle Seahawks.
Get ready Miami, this guy is a get for you guys, as is Carps.
