Strengths:
Excellent size and bulk...Very productive....Decent athleticism...Terrific blocker...Is very strong...Powerful and runs hard...Has a nose for the endzone...Versatile and can play more than one position...Good football IQ and awareness...Hard worker.

Weaknesses:
Might be a bit of a 'tweener...Does not have great speed...Is not very elusive and doesn't have much wiggle...Not real quick or explosive...Hands and receiving skills are questionable..Will struggle to get outside and turn the corner..Limited upside.

Notes:
Also being looked at as a potential fullback....Missed the 2006 season with a torn ACL...Depending on which team he lands with he could either be a short-yardage running back or a multi-dimensional fullback...Very intriguing small school sleeper.

Compares To: MARION BARBER, III-Dallas...Hilliard is a load to bring down in one-on-one situations (54.9% of his non-touchdown runs the last two years, 130-of-299, required multiple defenders to bring him down). He has the forward body lean, leg drive and power to consistently get the tough yardage between the tackles. He is more quick than fast and has been quite as productive getting long yardage off draw plays. He is a capable receiver on controlled routes and has developed into a capable cut blocker. He has made strong recovery from an Achilles tendon injury, but because of a lack of blazing speed, he is better served as an inside runner than one who should be attacking the edges. Barber is a more polished route-runner and receiver, but when used on controlled routes, Hilliard has proven to be a capable safety valve.

Whats up with drafting all these guys from smaller schools? I guess their trying to draft hidden gems.
 
I remember the name-he was a longtime starter for one of the best 1-AA teams in Montana-who knows whether he can get it done in the NFL-he'll have to be great on special teams to make it
 
Now it seems as if we are just adding people to the practice squad. Parmale will be the backup but montana RB will be PS. How come we havent looked at Adrian Arrington or Erin Henderson???????
