Tech’s Hill invited to NFL draft
Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill is one of 26 prospects invited to the NFL draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The number of players at the draft is a record for the event. For Hill, it is one more step of a remarkable progression since declaring for the draft Jan. 5. In a draft evaluation Hill requested prior to making his decision, the opinion of NFL executives and scouts was that he didn’t have the potential to be selected in the first three rounds.
However, Hill burst up draft boards with a standout performance at the NFL draft combine, including a 40-yard dash of 4.36 seconds. Hill’s invitation to New York is virtual confirmation that Hill will go in the first round or at least early in the second. Many mock drafts project Hill to be chosen by the San Francisco 49ers with the 30th pick.
The first round of the draft is Thursday, April 26.
The complete list:
Alabama S Mark Barron
Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon
LSU DT Michael Brockers
LSU CB Morris Claiborne
UNC DE Quinton Coples
Mississippi State DT Fletcher Cox
Stanford TE Coby Fleener
Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd
South Carolina CB Stephon Gilmore
Georgia OT Cordy Glenn
Baylor QB Robert Griffin III
Alabama LB Dont’a Hightower
Georgia Tech WR Stephen Hill
South Carolina DE Melvin Ingram
USC OT Matt Kalil
Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick
Stanford QB Andrew Luck
Boise State LB Shea McClellin
USC DE Nick Perry
Memphis DT Dontari Poe
LSU WR Rueben Randle
Alabama RB Trent Richardson
Penn State DT Devon Still
Texas A&M Ryan Tannehill
Alabama LB Courtney Upshaw
Baylor WR Kendall Wright

Interesting thing about Wne: if you look at his Twitter page, there’s a (wrong colored) GT helmet. But, there appears to be a person with a heavily tattooed arm. If he were at a Tech game, he’d probably be pretty noticeable.

@ Lee, you are, of course, correct, but he has actually made a couple of posts over time that made a little sense and that show he has a brain, and I even agreed with him, or he with me. Most of the time, however, he just posts drivel, like all the other trolls.

Very weak use of authority Ken.
You allow all sorts of filthy sex based innuendo, yet you ban me for posts about CFB that happen to be unpopular but are still worthy of FB based debate.

Statements like this make me think there is no wife or girlfriend in Gollum’s life…
“For you guys that don’t know this, that is one of the things that WOMEN do to get on a MAN’S last nerve, to keep bringing tired, out-dated crap crap that has been discussed ad nauseum.”
Also, there is no evidence he has a calming influence in his life that would tell him it’s a bad idea to stalk teenagers or spend your life obsessing over a football coach.

Mr. Stein
Hill had 26 catches over GT’s 12 game regular season, do you think that is a good season, do you think that CPJ used him correctly & efficiently?
13 of those catches were in 3 games:
W. Carolina
MTSU
UNC
That leaves 13 catches over 9 games or 1.44 catches per game, are you satisfied that CPJ got so little out of a great physical specimen for most of our season?
Meanwhile at UGA this is what they got out of their young WRs:
Malcolm Mitchell 45 catches for 4 tds and 15 ypc and he missed 3 or 4 games with a hamstring injury
Mike Bennett 32 catches for 5 tds and 10 ypcs
Chris Conley 16 catches for 2 tds and 18 ypc in one-half of a season after his RS was lifted.
Bennett was RS-Fr. while the other 2 were true-Fr.
So CPJ is an offensive genius and CMR is an “idiot” according to many GT fans yet CMR can get more out of T-Fr. & RS-Fr. WRs than our offensive genius can get out of a guy that is a Junior that has the same measurables as a Randy Moss, as a GT FB fan are you happy with use (or lack of use) of talent by CPJ?
Do you wanna talk GT FB or do you wanna bring up old twitter messages or talk about grammar that I use on a sports blog?
____________
That post above is legit CFB discussion, the problem is that you guys are more concerned with “protecting” CPJ that you are talking about controversial issue related to GT FB.
Those comments above are not trolling that is CFB analysis.
I refuse to protect a $2.5 million HC, instead I hold him to much higher standards than I do our former $1.0 million HC Chan Gailey!
If you’re happy with CMR getting more out of T-Fr & RS-Fr. WRs that CPJ does from Juniors that are 3 yr. starters then keep attacking WnE and avoid answering my legit questions.
BTW nobody stalked anyone, most of those twitter message were on MY twitter page and didn’t go anywhere OR to anyone, they were merely my ramblings posted for the world to see, but only on MY twitter page.

“Vad U R merely DELAYNG the inevitable, if U choose CPJ’s Triple SLOPtion Off., U’ll always ask yourslf could I have made the NFL@ NCST, etc
So FOR YOUR SAKE Vad, ask yourself WHY would CPJ change his Offense 4 U, when he wouldn’t change it 4 a 3-yr Starter & All-ACC QB?
Do you really think CPJ will change things up for a 18-y/o kid, when he wouldn’t change it up for a 22-y/o “grown ass man” like Josh?
You know the answers Vad, you’re just SCARED as to what DECISION will result if you answer these Questions honestly to yourself.
Of all the GT Fans that have writtn about your Recruitment, NOT-1, other than ME has taken N2 account YOUR DESIRES, 2 B a passn QB @ the NFL
So Vad WHY don’t the folks @ stink-talk and other places care about YOU realizing YOUR DREAM, being a passing QB & playing N the NFL?
So IF I’m the 1 that considers YOUR DREAMS, & they tlk about Recruit’s moms & playing QB where U can’t go Pro, whose advice is better 4 Vad?”

8-12 messages had the “@” sign in front when I first started using twitter and didn’t know how to post message or what that “@” sign was for.
I found out later that using that “@” sends message to another person’s “timeline”.
Since then the only time I used the “@” sign was when the goon squad blamed last yrs. UVA. loss on Mid term exams or to defend myself from unwarranted attacks.
I never erased the messages because I didn’t think they were a big deal.
