You know me too well...
Hey, the best high school and college football in the world is played in the state of Texas... the Sooners couldn't field a football team if it wasn't for the state of Texas...

hey, got any info on QB Nick Hill - Southern Illinois

You guys have GOT to stop coming up with these ultra-obscure players, now I'm gonna have to go do some research... LOL...
OK, damn you, I'm back... here's what I've learned:
The guy has good size (6-3, 220 pounds), and adequate but not great speed (4.8-4.85 second 40s)... he led the Salukis to one of their best seasons ever in 2007, but that was really the only year he put up good numbers... he went 258 of 361 (71.5 per cent), for 3175 yards in 14 games, 28 TD passes to 7 ints... those numbers are very good... he also showed a willingness to take off with the ball when things broke down, gaining 357 yards on the ground and scoring 4 more TDs... he is reportedly very good at the short passing game, he looks like he'd be well-suited to a West Coast offense...
However...
His marginal foot speed means he won't be the scrambling threat in the pros that he was in college... besides his terrific senior season, he really didn't do much the rest of his college career (but he started out playing basketball in college, at Western Kentucky IIRC)... his mechanics, especially his footwork, need a lot of work...
But most of all, he has a rather weak arm by NFL standards... he played in the Texas Versus the Nation all-star game in El Paso, and was just awful in practice, routinely one-hopping deep outs, that sort of thing...
In spite of his good numbers in 2007, I don't think he has much of a shot in the NFL... his chances are about as good as Ricky Santos' are, which means he may have to learn to speak Canadian...
Now, if you ask me about Joe Blftzpk from Podunk U., I'm gonna have to hurt you...
