#NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers shows his ability to pass off blocks when the Dline runs a stunt. First passing off the edge rusher to the LG then shuffles to his right to stop the trailing stunter. #NFL #NFLDraft

Clutch rep here from Hilbers to block inside then shifting his weight in a hurry to seal the outside shoulder of the RB by getting a chip on the trailing defender. #NFL #NFLDraft

In the Trenches

When you watch Hilbers film you’re consistently reminded why the Huskies “ran up his ass.”
Has a knack of getting to the 2nd level and acting as an icebreaker, leading the way for the ball carrier.
#NFL #NFLDraft #KroenickFilm

Strong initial punch from Hilbers to knock the edge defender off balance. Giving the ball carrier just enough room to get upfield. 2 common themes in Hilbers game, sealing the edge and getting to the 2nd level. #NFL #NFLDraft

Weakness

Hilbers can get over powered by not having his feet set in a bull rush. Better technique and form could fix this, keep your feet under you. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers has a good habit of matching his body’s speed with the edge rusher, keeping his body as a wall between QB/Rusher. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers gets overmatched by speed and loses his balance trying to keep up. Nothing happens here but you see him struggling not to go backward when he’s shuffling in a hurry. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers arms do a good job of keeping the edge rusher away from the QB. Rusher struggles to find a lane to the QB with Hilber in his earpiece. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers starts off this play by chipping the DLINE then getting to the 2nd level paving the way for the RB to gain a 1st down. Consistent, message. Run up his ass! #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers versatility is on full display here as he lines up as the Jumbo set TE at the bottom of the screen. Does a good job of sealing the backside edge of the LOS, taking away the trailing defender. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers first punch is very effective as he uses them as glue. Put on an island Hilbers does a fantastic job of not letting the Dlineman get upfield. Grip! #NFLDraft #NFL

Versatility 🚨

Hilbers lines up as the JUMBO SET TE. Even tho he comes off high out of his stance his hands give him the ability to seal the run lane. Over reaches at first but shows recovery and athleticism to get in front of the defender. #NFLDraft #NFL

Sealing the edge of the LOS in the run game is a consistent theme when watching Hilbers at RT. #NFL #NFLDraft

It’s a little choppy but Hilbers shows off his athleticism here by pulling to the left side, flipping his hips and chipping the edge defender, then moving upfield to block the LB. Leads to a first and goal attempt. #NFLDraft #NFL

As the Jumbo set TE Hilbers (@ the top of the screen) initially does a good job of pushing the DE upfield with a strong punch and good form. Dend uses his hands to take control and bring the RB down. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hilbers and the TE do a great job of combo blocking the Dend up into the LB creating a run lane for the RB. #NFLDraft #NFL

Showcasing his hand usage against a slower rusher Hilbers make short use of the Edge rusher giving a clean pocket for the QB. #NFLDraft #NFL

Has great form and hands while fighting with the DEND however he doesn’t finish the block leading to the sack. #NFL #NFLDraft #KroenickFilm

Coming low out his stance Hilbers displays power that over match’s the defender so much he gets a couple yards upfield. The potential is a starter after a year of coaching/learning. #NFLDraft #NFL

Athleticism to stay with the edge rusher here, keeps feet underneath at all times and keeps himself between QB/rusher. #NFLDraft #NFL

I’ll finish the thread with this! Persistence, strength, and hands lead the way for the RB!

Hilbers gets a 6.9/10 grade, could be a starter right away but would be a liability. After a year Hilbers is a solid starter in the #NFL. #NFLDraft @RiverboatRonHC @NBCSRedskins
