I remember the AJ McCarron to Rex Burkhead touchdown pass against the Steelers and it reminded me of a Tom Brady to Edelman type scoring play.
Very few teams have such a versatile athlete on their roster.
I still have hope that they will get him. They will probably PUP Gio & Hill isn't the answer. Even after they draft an RB, they could still really use Rex. At this point I think Hill is just here as a safety blanket since he's under contract. Pretty sure that the FO knows that Hill isn't the right guy for this job.
That said, I wish he was used in that role more often as well.
