While Justin Hilliard didn't get drafted, he'll still get his shot to play in the NFL.
After six years at Ohio State in which he battled through several injuries to become a team captain, Hilliard is signing with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent, Lettermen Row reported shortly after the draft.
A five-star recruit out of Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School all the way back in 2015, Hilliard was sidelined by biceps tears in each of his first two seasons at Ohio State. Over the next three years, Hilliard was a backup linebacker who played primarily on special teams.
