Michigan CB Lavert Hill
The big thing that pops out with Hill is his interception numbers. He had six interceptions in just 36 games played with the Michigan Wolverines. When Hill gets the football, he is a threat to score, with two interceptions returned for touchdowns during that span.
The Chiefs have often found themselves looking for a backup slot cornerback during the past few seasons. It seems they may have found that player in Hill, but he’ll need to prove that he can be an asset on special teams units if he’s going to make the team. His lack of size and length might hurt his ability to make the team, but he also has some really good performances against top tier competition.
Hill tied for the second-most guaranteed money handed out to Chiefs UDFA’s in this class with $110K in earnings. While guaranteed money is a good indicator of who the team most wanted to sign, it isn’t always an indicator of who will perform the best. We’ll just have to see how things play out once the players can finally get on the football field and practice together for the first time.
