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

48, I doubt that this will surprise you, but I just could not pull for Bubba last weekend. However, I was totally impressed with his post-tournament interviews. He seems like a very classy young man. He was on Letterman this week too, and he seemed humble on there as well.

Bubba is a GOLFER that is Very Different for a regular Sports Fan.
He was so upset that his dad wasn’t alive to see him get that Jacket. I Know Bubba would have LOVED to have DINNER at the Club with dad. Almost makes me cry just typing that. Not having your Parents see your Greatest Accomplishment has to HURT.

5150, I know what you meant earlier. I was trying to drive the point home to Ghost. I guess it gets lost in the narrative. Foreign kids that play football at Georgia are students of excellence. One in a million. If they play for Tech it’s a fluke and an indictment against Tech and CPJ. Just ask Wrexie.

@BLT in this case I don’t think Ghost was putting down Gotsis or Kallon, just stating that at this point their talent level is basically unknown….

“Gotsis is unproven. He’ll be dominated.” I can’t wait to see him drag the runner backwards. Kallon does that in his highlight film. They’ll be coached to just make the tackle, but I’d still like to see it.
Hey dogs, we don’t stand a chance. Nothing to see or read here. You guys will win it all. If we manage to win some it’s also a fluke and bottom line we can do better with a coach from Baylor that has recruiting classes less than 50. He’s got deep connections in Texas. I believe that’s the story by Wrexie.
