Hill is getting a lot more work underneath than DJax did. He is on pace for 82 catches this year. DJax didn't even approach that number until his 6th season when he had exactly that number and finished as WR10. He never came within 20 catches of that number in another season in his entire career.
I concur. Too many people unfairly compare Hill to guys like Desean, Cordarrel Patterson, Devin Hester, and other speedy returners/receivers. Hill has the benefit of having a great offensive coach like Reid. And he is showing a hell of a lot more promise at receiver than Desean did back when he was in his sophomore season.
That 30 yard reception Hill made last night in the 3rd quarter proves the critics wrong. Tyreek knew he was going to get rocked by the safety and he still held on.
People should have been higher on his progression as a route runner after that Broncos game last season where he had 9 receptions, 52 yards (longest reception was for 11), and a last play/second TD that gave them the opportunity to tie and later win in OT.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't knocking Hill at all by comparing him to DJax in his prime as an asset. You gotta remember, if DJax wasn't always hurt, his career numbers would be equal to what Hilton is doing, but with more TDs. 3-5 years ago, DJax was a borderline WR1 when healthy. But just like Jackson, Hill owners know that occasionally you'll get a 2-18 game thrown in.
