The Kansas City Chiefs continue to be the talk of the NFL merely weeks after their Super Bowl LIV victory. As the 2020 NFL Combine continues, prospects are sharing their thoughts on the new champions and their impact on the game moving forward.
Trevon Hill is one of the many defensive linemen at the combine looking to showcase his skills ahead of April’s NFL Draft. Hill had a solid season with the University of Miami Hurricanes, displaying impressive physical abilities. He views those skills as similar to that of a current Chiefs’ Pro Bowler. Hill spoke with Chiefs Wire contributor Ed Easton Jr. regarding the Chiefs veteran defense and perceived similarity to Frank Clark.
“Chiefs have plenty of veteran players like Frank Clark,” said Hill, “I feel we have very similar traits come in there and learn from him.”

“Frank Clark, he’s a little bit bigger than me,” Hill said explaining his comparison, “I think, he might be like 260 (pounds). But Frank is an agile guy, he has a good bend, and he could be either a 3-4 linebacker or 4-3 defensive end.”
Clark performed well during the second half of the Chiefs championship season under first-year defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The defense made great strides throughout the playoffs and began to garner a better reputation as opposed to past seasons. Hill is a prospect that seems eager to learn from veteran players like Clark, which makes him the perfect fit in the Kansas City locker room.
