Jacob Hester or Peyton Hillis

[Rasputin_Vol]

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

:ermm:

No
Fullback
League


especially if your not a great blocker.

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?

I think Hillis also led the team in receptions. 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.

so he's worthless. Doubt he can use all that heart on IR.
