Brian Hill is the Rams’ Midwest area scout, and if he worked in education, he’d be the teacher all of the students dread. Hill is a tough grader, a stickler for hard data and deep film study, and the stingiest to hand out high marks among all of the Rams’ scouting personnel.
In the last three years, Hill has only given starting-level grades to 11 players. They have included San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa, Washington outside linebacker Chase Young, Detroit tight end T.J. Hockenson and Pittsburgh linebacker Devin Bush, all of whom were top-10 picks.
And Fuller
In fact, Fuller was Hill’s top-rated safety in the entire draft class. And in advocating for Fuller, Hill even pushed himself out of his comfort zone in meetings.
“He is just so smart,” Hill said. “Our (defensive backs) coaches — Ejiro Evero and Aubrey Pleasant — those two are smart guys. They always talk about how you only have one chance to find the right angle, and that’s Jordan. He plays with excellent angles. He gets to the football. His range — he’s a big dude, he’s 6-foot-2 and he covers ground, eats up stripes — and he was just always in the right position all the time.”
