Hilliard did average 5.0 yards a carry his final year in LSU, and finished his collegiate career with a respectable 5.2 yard per carry average.
He rushed for 1,557 yards and 11 touchdowns in his four seasons and can come in and compete for a spot on the Houston Texans depth chart which included running backs Arian Foster, Alfred Blue (also an LSU back), Jonathan Grimes and recently signed Chris Polk.
