NFL Network names BJ Hill Senior Bowl ‘Player of the Day’

Wonder why scouts were drooling over NC State’s D-line all season long?

Probably because they had a group of NFL-level monsters manning it. The no-brainer was Bradley Chubb, who is shooting up the draft boards and could end up going #3 overall. Then you had the beast that is Kentavius Street, who scouts are saying could be the first one taken in the draft from the Shrine game. And now you have the NFL network giving the Senior Bowl ‘Player of the Day’ to Wolfpack DT BJ Hill.

Hill finished the season with 55 tackles (18 solo, 37 assisted), with 3.5 of those going for a loss. He had 2 sacks and a forced fumble.

One thing is for sure, NC State is going to have some major shoes to fill on this D-line next season.
