2026 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about CHRIS HILTON JR.:
LSU | Hometown: Zachary, LA | HT: 6000 | WT: 188 | 40 time: 4.41 | Hand: 0914 | Arm: 3200 | Wing: 7834
Hilton arrived at LSU in the same recruiting class as Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jack Bech. He was supposed to be the team's deep threat because of how fast and easy his explosion was off the line. He missed more games than he played because of injuries, however, and never caught more than 13 passes in a season which makes him a guess more than a projection as a prospect. He is a late gamble because of the rare athletic ability he has, as LSU coaches said he was the biggest freak on the team, but five seasons at LSU created minimal production and development. Lightning fast with build up speed that can stay over the top of anybody. Smooth, powerful strides increase in speed the further and further he gets downfield. Has shown glimpses of being a credible deep threat. Comes back to the ball and plays strong, come back to it at the catch point. Finds open space against zone coverage. Can elevate for the ball and reach it at the high point. Multiple serious injuries suffered to lower body joints. Not a precise route runner. A lot of rounding and choppy steps. Will struggle to sell double routes. Rarely created after the catch and was not an impact on special teams.
2025 Stats: 10-122, 12.2 ypr. OSR:32/41. VJ-34.5, SS-4.42. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
