How a Familiar Foe Could Forecast Justice Hill’s NFL Success

Oklahoma State’s three-year leading rusher entered Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the home of the NFL Draft Combine, with one major knock against him — his size. But what he accomplished over those four days — and especially on Friday — went a long way toward allowing teams to see beyond the measurements and through to his upside as a playmaker.

The stereotypical NFL every-down back measures in somewhere above 6 feet, and weighs in north of 200 pounds (think Hill’s former teammate Chris Carson). At 5 foot, 9 and 5/8 of an inch, Justice will never hit 6 feet, and though he bulked up to 198 pounds, he was still the second-lightest RB in attendance.
