Daxton Hill’s speed on full display at NFL Combine

Michigan safety Daxton Hill was versatile for the Wolverines, lining up all over the field on defense. Hill’s athleticism will help his draft stock rise, especially after an NFL Combine performance on Sunday in which his speed stood out.

Hill ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash, which ranked 14th overall at the combine — Hill’s and 20-yard shuttle (4.06 seconds) and three-cone drill time (6.57 seconds) were the best at safety.

Not only did Hill show off his speed, his performed well in drills as well, NFL Next Gen Stats gave Hill the highest athleticism score at safety.
