Texas product drafted in round 2 by the Titans. Locked in a competitive battle with veteran Cody Barton for the starting linebacker spot next to Cedric Gray. The Titans' base defense won't feature three off-ball linebackers frequently. Hill Jr. showed promise in early OTAs, including recording an interception. Heading into minicamp, scouts slightly favored Hill Jr. over Barton (who had a down 2025 season), suggesting he has the edge in the position battle but competition remains fierce (per Where Every Titans Draft Pick Stands on the Depth Chart Heading into Minicamp).
