Strengths
Hillman relies heavily on his quickness off the snap and immediate vision to find a seam to be an effective runner. He has decent speed for his size, but his quickness is how he makes his plays. He has a good, natural feel for how to find daylight and can be patient to wait for a pulling interior lineman to get to the second level. He is a RB who plays much more with his instincts and savvy with the ball in his hands than one who relies on athletic ability. He has a good burst in a short area to make guys miss, and has the quickness to be an effective short-yardage back in the NFL.
Weaknesses
Hillman is a very smooth mover who is not very explosive with the ball in his hands. He likes to feel his way through the line of scrimmage and usually gets to the second level with ease, but he struggles to run with power or elusiveness to make defenders miss and really break for a big gain. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry in his senior year, but those numbers were a bit skewed thanks to some outlier-type big runs.
