Draft Profile: Bio
Jyaire Hill from Kankakee High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has good ball skills to locate and attack the ball in the air.
- Has explosive movement skills and the fluid athleticism and change-of-direction ability to come down and cover slot receivers.
- Aware zone cornerback who is also adept in man coverage, flashing physical hand punch at the line and straight-line speed to stay with receivers downfield.
- Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. Hill has the quick and surprisingly powerful hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
- Hill tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn’t overly physical and might struggle to win early against bigger receivers in the NFL. He’s also underpowered in run support, not aggressive enough coming downhill, and too much of a grab-and-drag tackler.
- Much better in coverage than Hill is in run support.
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since he has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
