Lightning Meet Thunder!

It was the NFL draft of 2013 and the Cincinnati Bengals were on the clock in the 2nd round pick 37 and most of Who Dey Nation knew that the Bengals were thinking Running Back. And Running Back they took, selecting Giovani Bernard out of North Carolina University. A shifty tailback that could easily weave in and out of traffic and find the hole and take off like a flash of lighting. Fast Forward to the NFL draft of 2014, we find the Bengals once again on the clock in the 2nd round pick 55. Many analysts had us selecting a DE or even an OL in their mock drafts but most of them did not seeing us complimenting our Lighting with its Thunder! Without further adieu we give you Jeremy Hill!

So why exactly did the Bengals draft Jeremy Hill when Carlos Hyde from Ohio State University was still on the board? How about these stats for you, Hill while at Louisiana State University (LSU) put up monster numbers running in the "toughest" conference in the NCAA, the SEC. With 203 rushing attempts this past season, Hill was able to rack up 1401 yards giving him an unreal average of 6.9 yds per rush. Going up against teams like Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, Florida and Georgia, one would say that averaging 3.5 yds a carry would be great. Then of course there is his ability to find the hole and even show his open field quickness that sometimes is overlooked by the 40 at the Combine. Take a look at this gem Jeremy put on South Carolina, with a great move on number 1 draft pick Jadaveon Cloney and the speed to pull away from defenders.

Alright enough with the Highlight Reels we get it, Jeremy Hill is a Human Highlight Reel and we know that he is going to be a great addition to our backfield. The Bengals now have Lightning and Thunder and it is going to be epic to see when teams come into the JUNGLE trying to stop our RB's.

In 2012, Jeremy Hill put up impressive stats that made Les Miles up his usage in 2013 with 142 attempts in 2012 Hill ran for an impressive 755 yards. Averaging 5.3 yards per carry, which when he brings that to the NFL nobody will be able to stop The Bengals Offense. Just another young addition to the team that should pump up Who Dey Nation and get them ready for an outstanding 2014 season. 

Jeremy Hill is the perfect downhill runner that Hue Jackson loves and he is going to take advantage of his two excellent young backs. You heard it here first, our bold prediction is the Cincinnati Bengals will have two 1,000 yard rushers this year! Thanks for reading and Who Dey On!
