The 2020 NFL Combine is now underway — let the rumors begin.
As draft prospects sit down with the media on Tuesday and answer questions about where they’d like to play, where they think they should be drafted, and what type of upside they have in the league, it’s easy to get sidetracked by some misinformation. Of course, the Washington Redskins are meeting with QB Tua Tagavailoa, and CB Jeff Okudah and LB Isaiah Simmons — every team meets with all of these players in order to do their due diligence; don’t take it as any more than that.
However, when they start meeting with a player multiple times and have expressed interest before today, like at the Senior Bowl, then it’s safe to prick your ears up. That’s what seems to be happening with K.J. Hill, a wide receiver from Ohio State.

Hill told reporters on Tuesday that he met with the Redskins at the combine today after talking with them at the Senior Bowl as well. His talent has reportedly intrigued the team, and they have some extra intel on him with Dwayne Haskins and Terry McLaurin knowing him well as a teammate. Hill and Haskins actually share a close bond as well.
Ohio State WR KJ Hill says playing with Dwayne Haskins again would be “a great thing.” Hill says Haskins is one of his best friends.

McLaurin did a great job in his rookie season, becoming one of the biggest difference-makers for the Redskins. If things go as Washington plans, Hill could be the next Buckeye to get the opportunity.
