Here's the guys ahead of him...
Xavier Rhodes (starter)
Trae Waynes (starter)
Terence Newman (ageless wonder at 39 and Zimmer favorite)
Mike Hughes (2018 1st round pick)
Mackensie Alexander (2016 2nd round pick)
Marcus Sherels (a really solid punt returner and st player)
He has to beat out one of those guys. Personally, I think he makes their roster over Sherels. Hughes is a good punt returner, which he proved in college, and that makes Sherels expendable. Sherels has never been much as a DB and I think Hill offers them much more there. Alexander hasn't been a world beater and the age of Newman certainly means they'll need depth there in the future. I think RB Roc Thomas offers them a potential returner option as well and I see him beating out Mack Brown for the 3rd spot. Mike Boone also has some return experience and has been a good RB in camp.
