| Jacob Hester or Peyton Hillis
Just saw a mock draft where Peyton Hillis was a (late)4th rounder and Jacob Hester wasn't even on the board.  |

| Peyton Hillis has better hands out of the backfield. Hillis is faster. He compares favorably with Brian Leonard.
Hester is a gamer, but he's not very fast.
Hillis is by far the better athlete. He returned punts at Arkansas. Name another FB/TE that returned punts? | |

At least toward the end of the season, he was definitely their go-to receiver. I thought of Brian Leonard on the first post of this thread. Hillis is a better version of Leonard. Someone will draft him on the first day. I'm not sure where Hester will end up because he might not wow at the combines, but I can't see him going undrafted. | |

| I can see Hester going undrafted ...but I do think he gets a tryout and makes a squad.
Hillis is a heck of a football player, He could be the next coming of my favorite fullback of all time.....

| Someone said it earlier...JH is a GAMER. Last I checked you get paid for playing in games, not practice or workouts. | |

| Hillis is a LOT more talented than JH. Hester has heart but limited in speed. Hillis has heart and speed, is a very good blocker and has great hands. He will be a player in the League. Hester will be an all time LSU fan favorite.

| Don't even think you can put these two in the same category. Hillis is an all around back with better hands, speed, and blocking while Hester was just a lower your head runner. Hillis for sure is the better player and a true FB. Hester should probably find a job that suits his degree. | |

| I'd take Hester.. I get the feeling he has the attitude. You could line him up at DT and he'd scratch the dude's eyes out to get to the qb. | |

| I'm not sure Hester would stay healthy very long in the nfl as a lower your head runner. He was pretty nicked up last year. | |
