Baltimore Ravens' HC John Harbaugh Dishes Compliments to Former OSU Running Back
With the NFL season so close to being completed, only four teams remain in the search for a Super Bowl. Of the four teams, there are four former Cowboys set to play in the conference championship games across three different teams.
One of the four former Cowboys to play in the conference championship games is running back Justice Hill. He's a backup running back for the Baltimore Ravens, who are set to play the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.
Hill had quite a game last week against the Houston Texans as the Ravens punched their ticket to the AFC Championship game while playing in their first game of the playoffs.
“I’ve told [Justice Hill]; he’s a supremely talented player, but his heart is even bigger,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. “This guy -- he runs so hard. His acceleration and his bursts are right up there at the top of the league."
Evidently, when Hill gets the opportunity within the offense to show flashes, he does just that. In the right situation with more opportunity, he would be able to carve out an even bigger role.
“He gets the ball north, he has really good vision, he catches the ball and he pass protects. He’s a well-rounded back. I couldn’t say enough about him. He’s been a difference maker for us.”
Now, the former Cowboy will have the chance to make big-impact, timely plays for the Ravens against the Chiefs as they look to secure a trip to the Super Bowl.
Hill is one of four former Oklahoma State players to still be playing in the playoffs -- as mentioned -- as Tay Hill is with the San Francisco 49ers, Malcolm Rodriguez is with the Detroit Lions and Tylan Wallace joins Hill with the Ravens.
Unless the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, it's likely a former Cowboy gets the chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy with his teammates.
