Overview
Athletically, Hiller is a classic pocket passer that can be effective when he has time and the space to step into his throws and get his weight transferred to get some zip on the ball. He has a relatively strong arm but the ball does not consistently come out in a tight spiral and will hang in the air too long or fall short of its target at times. He has had some injury issues with both knees over the years and that could affect his status. He tends to have a long throwing motion that will allow defenders to get a jump on his ball at the next level and needs to develop a more compact motion.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Does not possess the necessary speed to make plays outside the pocket and is very susceptible to pressure up the middle. Not consistent with his ball action. Durability is a concern after multiple ACL tears. Does not display the ability to scramble and throw on the move when flushed from the pocket.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
