Kansas City Chiefs: Grading 2016 NFL Draft selections
By Casey Adkins
Oh boy, where to begin with Tyreek Hill.
After being cut from Oklahoma State because he punched his pregnant girlfriend, he transferred to West Alabama and did well enough there to merit spending a fifth round pick on. This selection drew ire from fans and media alike and that is understandable.
Hill made an instant impact on the team as a rookie where he recorded 860 yards from scrimmage along with nine total touchdowns plus 976 return yards and three touchdowns. Over the course of the next two seasons, Hill totaled over 2,500 total yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns. That would net him three Pro Bowl appearances, both as a wide receiver or Punt Returner along with two First-Team All-Pro nods.
Unfortunately, this offseason hasn’t been kind to Hill where he is being accused of hurting his son. All that being said, I have to give this pick an A because he has been an impact player for the Chiefs.
