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.
When two guys are competing against each other for a position and they both know it, you would think that pre-season production means a lot. At least it should mean a lot to each of them. I don't care what AJ Green does or doesn't do in the pre-season. But Walton's regular season turned out just like his pre-season, nada.
Falcon's also promoted him to the 53 man roster only a few games into the season. Who's to say Walton wouldn't have been on someone's practice squad if Marv had cut him. Now he's a dope smoking woman scratcher.
