Stephen Hill finishes on a down note

[Jeremy Igo]

Stephen Hill has been hot and cold throughout the offseason workouts. Today, he finished on a low. 

 

During drills with the quarterbacks, receivers were practicing catching passes in the corner of the end zone. All receivers did well, except for Hill. 

In his first attempt, Hill leaped up for the ball, but could not bring it down. The coaches gave him another try...same pass, same drop, same result. 

Finally, as the rest of the team headed to mid field for the next drill, Joe Webb asked Hill to just stand there in the corner of the end zone and catch a pass. That too was a dropped ball by Hill. 

Things did not improve for Hill during team drills either, He continued to drop catchable balls. 

Dropped passes have plagued Hill's career thus far. It appears those questions won't be answered positively now that offseason workouts are over. Maybe training camp?

Doubt it.

 

and riveras praise about hill now seems like encouragement for a mental issue

[Captain Morgan]

don't see him making the roster

This. RR has been propping Hill up IMO to help his confidence.  Dude just can't catch a football, consistently at least...shame. 

[PhillyB]

i'd hate to see someone like byrd lose a roster spot for this guy

Choo choo here comes the Boykin train

I don't know why anybody would want stone hands in our receiving corps.

​Does he just always suck when the media is watching him?

[Darth Biscuit]

He's obviously got athletic talent... is this like a golfer having the yips?  It's just a mental hiccup he can't get over?

I mean if he can't stand and catch a thrown ball...  uhh...

[DOMOMAN]

Sounds like a guy who just can't keep focus on the ball well enough to work in the NFL, like one of those athletic guards in the NBA who can't dribble and therefore never make the big time

[Captain Obvious]

Guys, even camp MVPs can have a bad day, er week,errr career.

[Mr. Scot]

Just waiting for someone to come in and say we have to keep him regardless of all the drops because we need speed.

[ZeroZeroSeven]

It's time for Hill to the face the music.  He was a low-risk, high reward prospect that didn't pan out.

We need to keep him regardless bc we need speed! (Ignore the fact we have brown, ginn, and byrd..) we need about six or seven 6'4+ WRs!!!!

In all seriousness, would love to see hill put it all together but it's looking like he may be the bust he was pegged as. In any case with KB Funchess brown ginn olsen and cotchery.. I think we are in good shape this year in the passing game (pending shula ball).
