Michigan safety Daxton Hill was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round (pick No. 31) of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Hill is great fit for a Bengals defense that needs to shore up some issues in its secondary. Hill will likely roam all over the field like he did at Michigan and be utilized at nickel and safety.
Here are social media reactions from the Bengals drafting Hill.
Daxton Hill
WHOOO DEYYYY!!! Proud to be apart of the @Bengals family

Bengals don't trade. They stick and take Daxton Hill, DB, Michigan.

Will fit in as third safety, nickel this year. Safety of the future with Bates likely gone next year.
Versatility and defense. Going to be themes of the weekend.

Daxton Hill, I like him a lot.

He can cover and tackle. If you can’t figure out how to use that in the NFL, it’s on you. Great get for the @Bengals. Him and Jessie Bates has me aroused.

Taylor says they were surprised he was still on the board: “he can be a tremendous asset for us on defense.” pic.twitter.com/vZHaKptMZh

Well.. my source didn’t disappoint… The Bengals take Daxton Hill a kid out of the University of Michigan… He can play cornerback or safety… fills a need.. and he was the best available on the board according to analyst for the last 25 minutes @WLWT
