Running Back Rank: #80 Overall: #352
After getting just one offensive touch in 2010, Hilliard got a few more chances last season but still not a ton. He carried the ball 16 times and caught five passes. He had a decent showing his rookie season, catching 20 passes but has done little since then. Hilliard isn't an ideal pass-catching option because of his size, but catches the ball well and is tough to bring down once he gets going. Hilliard runs hard and likes to initiate contact. Hilliard doesn't have great speed, though, and won't be breaking many long runs. He'll battle for a reserve spot with the Vikings, hoping to win the No. 3 running back job.
