Anthony Hill: Lions' Draft Gem to Fill Linebacker Void

0:00It's March 28th. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. Detroit Lions fans, the linebacker crew just took a hit, losing Speedster, Alex Anzalone to free agency. Now they're hunting draft gems to fill that void, and Anthony Hill from Texas is lighting up the radar as a second-round projection. Hill's got a clean bill mostly, just a straight forward fractured fifth metacarpal on his hand late last season. He's a sideline to him for the final two regular games, and he skipped the bowl. But at 21 years old, come next season, doxies zero long-term. Worries. Lions' supporters miss Anzalone's fire, but Hill brings similar juice with a blazing 4-5-1-40 yard dash at the combine. His college tape explodes, 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, 3 picks, and 8 force fumbles over 3 years. He already had a formal sit-down with the Lions at the combine, sitting at number 4 to 7 on one top board, back in February.

1:01Youth in that verified game history make him a low-risk speed demon. Eyes stay glued to Hill as draft-day nears, he could slide right into that Lions defense and keep the pass rush humming strong.
