Hilton's draft status
Hampton all-Mid Eastern Athletic Conference defensive end Isaac Hilton is projected on at least one website to be a first-day selection in the April 24-25 NFL Draft.

Hilton, at 6-5, 267, led all defensive linemen in the MEAC in tackles with 61 despite facing frequent double-teams. He was credited with 19 tackles for losses including 4.5 sacks.

He is projected as a second round pick on ESPN.com Insider section possibly going to the Kansas City Chiefs as a rush end.

His primary asset is thought to be speed, explosiveness and athleticism though many teams will want him to add weight and strength.

Hilton has run a 4.51 40-yard dash time, the fastest time among defensive ends in this year's draft. Speed is one of the primary tools that scouts assess when looking for rush ends.
