Hill has 8" hands and I have not seen him have drop issues.

It doesn't say EVERY WR who has smaller than 9" hands is prone to drops.
But it is known that the smaller hands you have, the more difficult it can be catching the ball.
From what I recall, the "target threshold" that teams prefer for hand size is greater than 9.0"

FWIW, Hill had 6 drops in 2020, which was tied for 6th most in the NFL according to NBC Sports. He averaged 0.4 drops per game.
John Ross had 1 drop (0.5 per game since he only played in two games).
For comparison with some other prominent receivers (data collected via playerprofiler.com):
Higgins - 4 (0.3 per game)
Green - 3 (0.2 per game)
Keenan Allen - 3 (0.2 per game)
Allen Robinson - 3 (0.2 per game)

So Hill actually had more drops than maybe we realized.

Back around to Stevenson...from the tape I watched, he tends to try to catch passes into his body, not catching with his just his hands. TDN also mentioned he's not a natural hands catcher in their scouting report of him.
