- 3.70 yards per carry last year
- 3.56 yards per carry in his last 17 games (10 last year + last 7 of 2015)
- 2 rushing TDs in his last 20 games
- 1 TD as a receiver in last 2 seasons
- Hasn't had a play go longer than 45 yards since 10-12-2014
- Has exactly 1 play that went over 46 yards in his career
- He's lacked durability and is coming off a torn ACL
- He has the 19th largest cap hit among RBs in the NFL, yet his role doesn't match that level of pay - https://overthecap.com/position/running-back/2017/
- Joe Mixon can catch and possibly play that role
- Both Mixon and Hill are easily better values right now
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
