5 Cleveland Browns whose stock is down after shockingly bad loss to Cardinals
3. Browns CB Troy Hill
This was another one for Browns nickel corner Troy Hill. He got beat by Christian Kirk on the Cardinals’ first score, and gave up a similar play, albeit not for a touchdown, but for a sizable chunk of yards, later in the game.
Hill gave up 46 yards receiving, with the aforementioned touchdown. Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray had a quarterback rating of 152.6 throwing in his direction. The Browns secondary allowed Murray to throw for 200 yards, while surrounding three total touchdowns.
This performance follows a Chargers game in which Hill yielded a coverage grade in the 30s.
A lower-on-the-radar free-agent signing, Hill was supposed to be the type of slot-corner player who would hold down the position so well that the Browns could just forget about it.
Undoubtedly, a rough day in the secondary, and Hill will be remembered for chasing open receivers across the field.
