(S23) - PT 4 - The Butterfly Effect

[GotDatWeeFee]

Coming out of Florida the Running Back position was all Rashad Hilliard knew, yea he had some playing time at safety back in his high school days but back then he could just rely on his athletic dominance to make up for any lack of game knowledge he had on defense. So when he was asked if he would be willing to make a position change, I would imagine he was thrown off and a bit nervous. One, he wondered did no one see the potential he offered as a running back and two… he had no idea what it would take to play any other position at a high level, especially pro. He shook this off and realized it was an opportunity to not only stand out above other recruits but to also diversify his skillset and become a better player.
The day finally came, and he was asked if he would be willing to switch to Corner Back, and as we all know he jumped for it. Doing this has allowed him to become a strong asset for his team and make a difference even in year one. This decision has led him in a direction he may not have expected, but so far, it seems to be an improvement over not being willing to change his position at all. I imagine that trend of success to continue all stemming from that one decision.
