NFL.com Includes NC State’s Chubb & Hill in Top 50 Prospects 2.0

NFL.com has released their 2.0 version of their Top-50 prospects for the 2018 NFL Draft after the NFL Combine, and NC State’s Bradley Chubb and BJ Hill both made the cut.

3) Chubb has ideal size, strength and instincts. He primarily lines up with his hand down, but did stand up at times for the Wolfpack. As a pass rusher, he has a good get-off, but he is an outstanding technician with his hands. He wins with rip moves, swipe moves and a powerful bull rush. He can bend and wrap the edge. Chubb’s motor never stops. His ability to finish is outstanding and it’s reflected in his production. He was asked to drop into coverage some, and while he’s serviceable in this capacity, he’s best served moving forward, not backward. Against the run, he shocks blockers with his hands. He can locate the ball and close ground quickly. He dominates tight ends. Overall, Chubb has a natural feel as a pass rusher and should be a double-digit sack artist very early in his career.

42) Hill lines up at defensive tackle for the Wolfpack. He has broad shoulders and a thick, muscular frame for the position. Against the run, he plays with balance and power at the point of attack and flashes the quickness to penetrate/disrupt. His effort to chase plays is excellent. As a pass rusher, he has a quick slap/rip move and he generates a lot of pressures. He lacks sack production, but I believe that will come in time. Overall, Hill is very athletic and his best football is ahead of him. (NFL)
