Potential with something to prove on a PS deal...yup lets do it.

All of that is irrelevant. What’s his forty time?

more choir boys

Thought Hill was going to be special coming out of HS/College. Never should have went to Texas. (I say this as an alum)

 

[VaqueroTD]

Another byproduct of the Texas Longhorns country club system. Hopefully we have enough support systems to get him on track.

 

[conner01]

All things considered, not a bad addition to the PS. Hopefully he can work his way up.

Very little risk signing a guy to PS
Depending on him to contribute is where the risk come in

 

[conner01]

Yes.

Hopefully he has put it behind him. Chances are running out

What was the issues
If you know

 

[conner01]

Yep. 3 seasons and 1 pick.

He avg about 14 snap a game over 3 years so not a bunch of playing time
I don’t know what the off field stuff was but that seems to be the issue
The question is are those issues behind him?
If so as a PS player he’s well worth the minimal risk of a PS roster spot
He did have 7 PD his rookie year so he has some raw skills if he’s ready to play football and can motivate himself to dedicate to it

 

[charron]

Whatever happened to canaday. Thought he looked ok in pre season.

 

[Rockport]

Time will tell. I have not problems with second chances.

He had issues at Texas but don't know details.

With vikings:

On April 5, 2019, Hill was suspended the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.[12] He was suspended an additional four games again for violating the NFL policy on substances of abuse.[13] He was reinstated from suspension on October 25, 2019, and activated on November 2, 2019.

Weed. AFAIK, that’s it, and I followed him while at UT.

Yeah well he is A Cowboy now. I hope the culture here has changed. Otherwise this isn’t the team to work on off field issues.

 

[DuncanIso]

problems with the DBs we drafted???

 

[Carson]

Likely means Bossman won’t be ready for a few more weeks and wanted some depth

 

[Established1971]

saw this in my Facebook feed, they made it look like some huge signing for a new starter lol

I don’t know what the off field stuff was
Sometimes these things are just immature idiotic crap then sometimes it’s more serious are drug related
I see the potential to play in this league but lots of kids come out of college with potential
Can he move on from previous off field crap? Does he has the motivation, heart and desire to be a player?
Those are concerns but the risk of a PS roster spot is pretty minimal
