All Hill has done is whatever the coaching staff has asked of him thus far. FWIW, as long as they pick ONE job for him to do, rather than bouncing around, I fully expect him to catch up quickly in terms of production.
Reminds me a bit of Michael Johnson, where he had to keep switching between getting his body (weight) ready to play OLB vs DE for the first couple years of his career. Wasn't until like his third or fourth year I want to say that he spent the entire offseason and season as a full-time DE. Didn't have to worry about being switched back to OLB (and thus worry about coverage) so he was able to bulk up accordingly.
Bad enough it happened to him and he was a 3rd round pick.
