2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Tim Hiller
 |
By Matt McGuire
Strengths: Good height and adequate bulk Very productive Strong football IQ Smart and knows when to throw ball away Anticipates blitz Makes good decisions Sharp and accurate in short routes Leader Good character Nice timing Plays in pro-style offense
Weaknesses: Very weak arm strength Floats deep ball Not very mobile Footwork needs some polish Slow on progression reads Very limited upside
Summary: Hiller projects as a career backup because he simply lacks the arm strength to drive the ball down the field. Some team will take a chance on him and try to develop him into a starter, but defenses can simply shut him down by challenging his ability to drive the ball down the field. Hiller has a lot of tools a quarterbacks coach can work with, and he might end up being a valuable project, a la Matt Cassell. Hiller's decision-making will probably get worse in the NFL as he will face much tougher defenses with his limited arm.
Player Comparison: Sage Rosenfels. Hiller and Rosenfels lack the arm strength and project as backups.
