Preseason production is almost meaningless. Some guys are playing against 1's and 2's while other guys are playing against scrubs. Remember when Cedric Peerman was a fan favorite around here for what he did one preseason?
If I remember correctly none of the top 5 rushers in the league in preseason made a final roster.
The rest of the league watched all the preseason tape on Hill and decided he was not worth a roster spot. The Falcons signed him to their practice squad mainly because he was with them in 2017.
