Draft Profile: Ohio State WR KJ Hill
24 January 2020 DRAFT
KJ Hill 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Measureables: 6′ 195 LBs
Yet another potential star is emerging from Ohio State who has produced a stable of incredible wide receivers throughout its history. KJ Hill is the NFL next great slot receiver. He is polished and always ready to be the guy when his QB needs a play. His stock has dramatically risen after he has put on an absolute clinic on DBs at the Senior Bowl this week. His hands were never in question, just his size but as a slot guy and for athletic he is, he is worth the earlier round pick to have an upside slot receiver for years to come.
