Following the departure of Darious Williams in free agency earlier this offseason, the Los Angeles Rams had an inexperienced cornerback group behind Jalen Ramsey. But during the 2022 NFL draft, the Rams traded for a familiar face in Troy Hill, whose maturity has impressed Raheem Morris in training camp thus far.
“He’s a real calming figure, another calming figure in that room. He’s poised. He’s a pro. I just complimented him today on how well he’s matured in the National Football League, coming from where he came from coming into this league, how he got here, going through the growing pains of a young player and maturing and watching how mature he is now, how he moves,” Morris said. “He’s an example. When you have those kind of stories as a credit to the guys that coached him before. Whether it be (Ejiro) Evero, whether it be Aubrey (Pleasant), whether it be (Jonathan) Cooley or whether it be any of the guys that’s coached him in that room or any of the coaches that he had. That’s certainly a credit to what he’s been able to do in his career.”
Hill began his career with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2015 as an undrafted cornerback out of Oregon. After a one-year stint with the Bengals, Hill would spend five seasons with the Rams through the 2020 campaign.
