So even an "offensive mind" took a year to develop Hill into a downfield receiver.

Yeah, maybe, or maybe that same offensive mind was finding another way to get the ball in to his playmaker's hands?  In 2016, his rookie season, Hill rushed 24 times for 267 yards, a staggering 11.1 ypc average, and 3 TDs.  He also had a long rush of 70 yards.  

And Ross doesn't have to just be a downfield receiver.  Screens, slants, etc are a great low-risk way to get the ball in his hands.  I loved when Hue would do the bunch formation with a TE and two WRs on one side and AJ Green on the other side.  If you have a big WR like Malone or Core and a TE like Kroft blocking for Ross on a quick hitter, it could turn in to a big play on a one-yard pass.
