PFF pegs breakout season for former first-round Bengals safety
Updated: 9:35 AM EDT Jun 13, 2023
Cincinnati Bengals safety Daxton Hill is generating some pre-season buzz, with Pro Football Focus specifically highlighting him for a potential breakout year.Naming their 2023 All-Breakout Team on Monday, Hill was one of 22 players named by PFF as players they believe are set up for a breakout year this coming season. "Hill played very sparingly as a rookie in 2022, as the Bengals had one of the best safety duos in football with Jessie Bates III and Vonn Bell already in tow," PFF's Jim Wyman begins his write-up. "However, both departed in free agency, thrusting the former first-rounder out of Michigan into the spotlight. Going up against quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Kenny Pickett in the AFC North, Hill will likely be tested early and often, giving him plenty of opportunities to show why he was the 31st pick in last year’s draft."According to Pro Football Reference, Hill saw just 131 defensive snaps last year (12.64%) along with 167 (38.48%) on special teams. With Cincinnati needing to replace Bates' 1,017 snaps (98.17%) and Bell's 1,024 (98.84%, a defense-high) Hill could see his playing time, and impact, skyrocket.In that limited playing time last season, Hill posted a 58.1 PFF grade.Joining Hill at safety on the All-Breakout Team is Philadelphia Eagle Reed Blankenship, who posted a 79.4 PFF grade as an undrafted rookie.The AFC North was well represented on PFF's team, with five players selected for breakout campaigns in 2023, the most of any of the six NFL divisions. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett, Baltimore Ravens edge rusher David Ojabo and linebacker Patrick Queen and Cleveland Browns cornerback Martin Emerson all joined Hill on the squad.Other well-represented divisions include the AFC East and NFC North, each with four players represented.For the full 2023 All-Breakout Team from PFF, click here.
