Rams CB Troy Hill on transition to slot: “I’m trying to age like fine wine.”Eric D. Williams
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Troy Hill is about taking the changes in his life as they come.
So when the Los Angeles Rams said this offseason they would like him to move inside to slot defender, replacing former teammate Nickell Robey-Coleman, Hill was up for the challenge.
“This is my first time really playing nickel in my career, so I’m still learning,” Hill said. “But it’s an opportunity, and I thought it was a great opportunity when the coaches came and presented it to me as my position this year. So I’m just trying to go out there and be the best version of myself that I can be at that position.”
Now in his seventh NFL season, the 29-year-old Hill is accustomed to using his versatility to find his way onto the field.
