Las Vegas Raiders RB room would benefit from addition of Jeremy Hill

Punishing runner who has a nose for the end zone

During his first three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Hill was a touchdown machine, racking up 29 of them in 47 games. As a rookie, Hill made only eight starts, but burst onto the scene, rushing for over 1,100 yards while finding the end zone nine times.

Hill followed up his breakout rookie season with another productive campaign in 2015, rushing for 11 touchdowns, hauling in one, and starting 15 of the team’s 16 games. While his overall rushing total was down, as he averaged under four yards per carry, he still showed that he can punch the ball into the end zone when given the chance.

His final full season with Cincinnati was another extremely productive one, as he scored nine times, and started 13 games. His career with the Bengals would end unceremoniously, as rookie Joe Mixon took the job from him mid season, and he would land with the Patriots for the 2018 campaign, winning a Super Bowl though only playing in one game due to a torn ACL
