Compact, explosive SDSU back who finished as a college workhorse
In the 2011 season, Ronnie Hillman turned San Diego State into a run-first problem, rushing for 1,711 yards and 19 touchdowns while averaging 5.5 yards per carry; in 2010, he added 1,532 yards and 17 scores[1][14]. His calling card was burst in a small frame, plus proven big-workload durability—15 100-yard games, 12 games over 150 yards, and three 200-yard outings in just 26 college games[14]. The fit question is simple: if a team wanted a decisive, downhill playmaker with home-run ability and no fear of volume, Hillman checked that box in college[14].
