By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst NFL Comparison: Bobby Wagner (Note: Wagner was hospitalized with pneumonia prior to the 2012 Combine, so no stats available.)

Overview​

Three-down linebacker with the playing demeanor and production of a future Pro Bowler. He posted 31.5 TFLs, 17 sacks and eight forced fumbles in his three seasons at Texas, making an impact in every phase.

He’s instinctive, athletic and under control, transitioning seamlessly from read to react to finish. He plays with downhill thump to thwart interior blocks and the speed to pursue runners from sideline to sideline. Hill has plus cover talent in man or zone, proven credentials as a blitzer or edge rusher, and finishes plays as a strong, reliable tackler. Consistency and field command make him one of the safer linebackers in the class. His size, speed and versatility allow him to profile as an instant-impact rookie at Mike or Will ‘backer.

Anthony Hill is still very raw as a LB in my opinion. He struggles with a lot of nuanced parts of the position.

I don't think he's close to Bobby Wagner right now. Wags was so polished by the time he got to the NFL.
