It's easy to believe he is the best RB in the country.

Earlier in the day, I gave my list of the draft's top running backs, led by Auburn's Tre Mason. I still like Mason, but Hill and Carey's decisions change the list up quite a bit.
Before Hill declared, I said there was a good chance a running back would not be picked in the first round for the second year in a row. I think Hill will be a first-round pick. At 6-2, 235 pounds, he is a big, strong running back who rushed for 1,401 yards, averaging almost seven yards per carry, and scored 16 touchdowns in his sophomore season. His last game of the season might have been his best, a 216-yard, two-touchdown performance against Iowa in the Outback Bowl.
Cam Cameron, the offensive coordinator at LSU this year, recently told me he believes Hill is one of the best running backs he's been around, from the standpoint of power, the ability to catch the ball, etc. When a guy like Cameron, who's been in the NFL as a head coach and offensive coordinator, speaks of a player that highly, you've got to take notice.

I still like Mason better than Hill and think Mason will have a better overall pro career. Mason is a really cool and likeable person. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders and has to my knowledge never been in trouble like Hill.

Is Les not standing by him anymore?

Yeah, I kind of figured his grading had not made it out yet when someone said that Mason was rated first. He has the NFL type RB measurements. Tre will do well, but I get this and expected it.

Can't say I'm surprised. Dude is a beast.
