Tony Hills- NFL draft dreams becoming a reality.
Tony Hills is a 6’6” 305LB honorable mention all Big 12 offensive tackle from the University of Texas. He was also ranked as one of the nations top 10 offensive tackles by The Sporting news. He was named to ESPN’s All- Mayday Team for being one of college football’s “Toughest of the Tough”
Talk about overcoming adversity, Tony broke his leg this past season and is still expected to be a 3rd or 4th round draft pick in the NFL Draft this weekend. And during his senior year of high school Tony tore ligaments in his knee; jeopardizing the chances of him playing at the college level. All schools stopped recruiting him with the exception of the Longhorns, even though he was the top prospect in the state of Texas. Tony worked hard and dedicated himself to getting back to the sport he loves.
Listen to Tony as he discusses his preparation for the NFL draft and how he has overcome two serious injuries.

I think it’s absolutely amazing how he had two serious injuries and still is entering the draft. Also, I give him a lot of credit for pushing himself to get back as soon as possible and make a name for himself!!!!
