I know in High School they always pushed it, especially with offense that run any sort of shotgun set(s). I'd have running backs train with a line coach once a week to get techniques down. I don't think they need the size or strength that a guard/tackle have. They just need the footwork and hands to make it work.
Sproles is one of the best pass blockers in the league and he is like what? 5'8"?
Gio is a better pass blocker than Hill, you are correct, doesn't matter about size.
But Eox is right, this is probably pushed more than anything in the NFL, rightfully so.
Your QB is your most important position.
In the end this doesn't sound good for Hill who i have seen whiff on blocks lots of times.
