Good blocker and had a nice career as an UDFA, but he didn't have the best of hands when it came to catching the ball.

I'm really excited to see how Trautman develops.
Dude was not a pass catcher. Just a blocking beast.

Still, that's not an excuse for dropping the ball if the pass comes your way.

Especially if it's a play drawn for you in the red zone.

To be honest, Hill only had three dropped passes since 2018. Two in 2018 on 24 targets, one in 2019 35 targets, and none in 2020.

I presume if we happen to have a need during the season, we wouldn't be able to sign him out of retirement, right? He's still Lions property?

Hills replacement is now in the building with the new
TE that we signed. Kasasomething. I Believe he is a blocking TE who catches well. If he makes it through TC then I'll work on remembering his name.

I myself, doubt Jhill ever had a play drawn for him as #1 option, and I honestly don't remember him missing catching a pass in a meaningful situation which is more than I can say for our recent #1 TE's Watson and that other jerk. I know we can't have him back this year, but if he stays in shape I'd love to have him back next year.
