10. Jeremy Hill, running back, Cincinnati Bengals
Hill has put up some impressive numbers so far in his three seasons with the Bengals. To date, the the former LSU product has tallied a grand total of 3,225 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Unfortunately, Hill’s yards per carry dramatically decreased from 5.1 in his rookie year to a mere 3.8 in 2016. This is why the Bengals saw fit to add rookie running back Joe Mixon into the mix.
Hill’s stats pale in comparison to what Mixon was able to accomplish in his final season at Oklahoma (6.8 yards per carry).
For now, Hill is listed as the top running back on the Bengals roster, with Mixon behind Giovani Bernard. But Hill’s training camp performances will likely dictate whether he or Mixon earns the lead rushing role.
Specifically speaking, Hill must work on his speed with a hungry Mixon now breathing down his neck.
