Hill had himself a strong camp by all accounts, which is exactly why Houston worked to keep him around rather than lose him outright after final cuts. He's fighting from the back of a crowded linebacker room behind Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'o To'o, so his path to regular defensive snaps likely runs through special teams and injury opportunity.
Strengths: Earned praise for a strong training camp that convinced Houston to retain him despite a numbers crunch at linebacker.
Weaknesses: Currently third or fourth on the linebacker depth chart with little established path to regular defensive snaps.
