    Hilliard was the second member of the All-American wide receiver tandem for the University of Florida. Along with Reidel Anthony, Hilliard provided Heisman Trophy winner, Danny Wuerfell, with a duo of talented pass receivers. His stellar performance in the Sugar Bowl (7 rec, 150yds, 3TDs) helped Florida defeat Florida State and become National Champions. Hilliard is a play maker with soft hands and the ability to go deep. He has had some trouble running tight routes, but he should easily overcome this and become a talented pro receiver. Look for Hilliard to go in the late first or early second round during the draft.
