Ryan Hill Named to the 2011 Wes Welker Watch List

Ryan Hill, CB, Miami
Hill has been almost entirely overlooked this offseason, somehow failing to generate invitations to the East-West game, the Senior Bowl or the combine, despite having played well in 2010 opposite potential first-round pick Brandon Harris. Hill replaced DeMarcus Van Dyke in the lineup last season, starting 11 of 13 games, but it was the speedster Van Dyke who got the nod for both the Senior Bowl and the combine. A former receiver with the Hurricanes, Hill switched to defense in 2008 and lost his 2009 season to a shoulder injury. He has very limited experience at cornerback, but solid NFL size at 5-11, 202 pounds, with enough speed (mid-4.5s) and range to entice a team into giving him time to develop his technique and coverage skills.
