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

BLT somebody talked about Gotsis not playing American Football against American Competition. That is Why i said Eric Z. You can add many SAMOAN players to the list that NEVER played against American Football Competitiona but they Beat Tech and Bama at UTAH and they litter the PAC-10 rosters.

Gotsis played Ausie Rules football, I doubt he will fear anyone in NCAA football
Dude is close to 300 lbs already.
Needs Technique, but the good thing is he won’t bring many bad habits that most kids bring with them, they do things by instinct, Gotsis will start fresh with proper techniques. Sometime it harder when you been doing something one way your whole life then all of a sudden you need to change because the people you going against are just as strong as you.

@ BTTF, that is only a temporary email address that I gave you. When you send your email, say something in it that will “prove” that you are actually BTTF, and not a troll who read what I posted. I will then add you to my list of other Tech bloggers and email you from my real address. No need to wait till next week though, unless you just prefer to. Do it now, and I can keep you abreast of the plans……where we might eat before hand (for those who want to do that) and where to meet at the stadium (for those only interested in doing that). Look forward to meeting you and several of the others I have not yet met. I think it should be a fun time getting to know each other, sharing stories and enjoying the precursor of a new season on the flats.
