In April, NFL general managers deemed 255 players better than Kylin Hill, including 16 running backs. In August, he's scored two impressive touchdowns for the Packers.

Really looking like we might have a 7th round steal on our hands. Like the article said, it might be hard to keep off the field behind Jones and Dillon. And he looks comfortable catching the ball too and Dillon doesn't look half bad either when thrown his way. Having 3 backs that can catch out of the backfield? How fun would that be?

While I think the Packers will miss Williams this year in some areas, notably pass blocking, it will be very interesting to see how well Dillon and Hill do. I think Dillion is (potentially) a much better pure rusher than Williams - and even Aaron Jones for that matter. And Hill seems like he brings a lot of good stuff to the table as RB3.

I'd like to see how he does with a good offensive line.

Seeing a back shoulder catch like that out of a rookie 7th round pick is rather exceptional, especially knowing how much they like to have RBs run WR style routes in this offense.

Also yeah with Williams, I think his intangibles on and off the field will be hard to replace. But it looks like the Packers will have a pretty good 1-2-3 punch as it is, so I can understand letting him go.

I think Dillon will be the one replacing William’s “get er dun” on the field attitude.
And Hill will be a very useful change of pace guy. And being a 7th rounder, he seems to have a great attitude, knowing he’s a long shot and taking full advantage of every opportunity he gets.

Fennell on nuances of Kylin Hill. “Reliable pass pro, solid hands, efficient inside/outside runner, tough. 'Pros Pro' type of RB.”

Pass pro is the biggest question for a rookie.
