Justin Hill knows he has the talent to be a high-level football player. But he's also worked hard at discipline and the little things that it takes to be elite. "Discipline is the biggest thing I've been working on," Hill said. "I've been more focused on what I have to do make myself the best player I can be. I want to be a leader. So, I do certain things differently. I've learned I can't take anything for granted, so that means I have to be the best Justin Hill that I can be." As a junior, Hill recorded 36 tackles, 16 tackles for a loss, 13 sacks and two fumble recoveries.
