Brandon Hill is a low-risk high-reward pick by the Houston Texans in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft and will make the bottom end of the team’s depth chart better when training camp starts in July.
A hard-nosed tackler with a nose for the ball and ability to cover, what Hill lacks in polish he makes up for with effort. Seventh-round picks face an uphill battle to get playing time as rookies, but Hill will look to push veteran talent for snaps when he gets on the field in the preseason.
Check out his best plays from his time at Pittsburgh below to see how he might fit in the Texans’ defense next season:
Texans get some safety depth in Brandon Hill. Dude is explosive as heck (4.43 40) with impressive change of direction. Throws his body around as a run defender. Felt like he always made big plays: pic.twitter.com/JKKRq2ywvR
