Justice Hill 2020 Outlook
Baltimore's first pick on Day 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft, Hill was expected to bring a jolt of speed and home-run ability to the Ravens’ running back room. Instead, he became the third man on the depth chart behind veteran Mark Ingram and second-year man Gus Edwards, who led the team in rushing with 718 yards and two touchdowns on 137 attempts as an undrafted rookie in 2018. Last season, Ingram ran for 1,018 yards on 202 attempts and Edwards tallied nearly identical stats as the year before (711 yards on 133 attempts). Combine both backs’ output with Lamar Jackson's 1,206 rushing yards and there was little opportunity left for Hill to make his mark as a rookie. As SBNation noted, Hill showed potential as a dangerous change-of-pace back, particularly down the stretch, but it's hard to imagine his role will increase this season with the addition of second-round pick J.K. Dobbins. That said, with three years left on his rookie contract, Hill is worth more to the team long-term than Edwards, who is set to be a restricted free agent after the season. At 30 years old in the second year of his three-year contract, Ingram isn't set to be around much longer either, which could leave Hill playing behind Dobbins as the No. 2 back in a few years (if Dobbins lives up the billing).
Justice Hill 2019 Outlook
The Ravens hope Hill's adjustment to NFL football mirrors his rapid adjustment to college football. In 2016, Hill was the nation's leading freshman rusher with 1,142 yards. When he arrived at Oklahoma State, he immediately started making plays and never looked back. Now, Hill wants to have a similar instant impact as a pro. The good news? He fits into the Ravens' offense because Baltimore doesn't have another back like Hill in their arsenal. His 4.4 speed makes him someone who can take the ball to the end zone from long distance. The depth chart is crowded with Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, Kenneth Dixon and Hill among those vying for roles. Ingram is a proven veteran with more than 6,000 career rushing yards. Edwards had three 100-yard games during the last two months of 2018, helping the Ravens make their playoff push. Dixon had 117 yards rushing in the victorious regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns that lifted the Ravens into the postseason. However, the Ravens still drafted Hill because of his playmaking potential, and a change-of-pace role seems like a reasonable expectation. NFL.com's Dan Parr noted the synergy of the potential Ingram and Hill pairing as well. "If the explosive running back lives up to that billing," Parr wrote, "he'll be a perfect sidekick for Ingram."
