The worst thing

The only thing worse than digging a grave is finding out that it is for you. That seems to be the type of situation that cornerback Holton Hill is finding himself in during this offseason and preseason by making bad choices.

Hill is already set to serve an EIGHT GAME SUSPENSION, meaning that if he does make the team, he will be sitting out half the team’s regular-season games. But after this game, let’s hope that number doesn’t go up.

Leading with the crown of his helmet, Hill hit sliding quarterback Paxton Lynch right in the head. Not only was a penalty flag thrown for his play, but he was also ejected from the game for what could have been a very damaging blow.

He will likely be fined for this play. Hopefully, he is not handed down a suspension from the league because not even the most talented player can earn a roster spot while being suspended from the team. If he does somehow survive all this, he should be very thankful to Mike Zimmer and the Vikings.
