2.  Why McRae over Hillary?

1. Possibly, but you never know.

2. Nothing really groundbreaking. Neither have put up any non-tackle stats in preseason, so I looked at their Pro Days and most of it was pretty similar, but I saw that Hillary only bench pressed 8 times and it's often said that part of the bench press is strength, but the other part is showing how much work a player has and is willing to put in. If he's under 10, then it's mostly due to him not spending enough time in the weight room.

Hillary has 5 pounds on McRae, but McRae benched pressed 13 times to Hillary's 8. It's not a proper gauge of playing ability, but it does give a tiny insight to work ethic/drive/mentality. I'd prefer Will Jack to be healthy so neither would make it, but it is what it is.

Correct, but if you want them to be eligible to come off the IR during the season, they couldn't be designated for the IR until you got your final 53 man roster.
