Jeremy Hill had a sensational rookie season with the Cincinnati Bengals where he rushed for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns on 222 carries.

The second round draft pick out of LSU was rewarded as he was named the Bengals Offensive Player of the Year by Bengals.com, the official website of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The franchise’s all-time leading rusher, Corey Dillon, spoke highly of the man who will try and break his record.

“He’s dynamic,” Dillon told Bengals.com. “He’s a good runner with great vision. “That’s the No. 1 attribute you have to have because if you’re not able to see what is going to happen, it doesn’t matter how big or fast you are. If you’re telling me he’s 230 pounds that surprises. He doesn’t look that big.”

Hill said he owes LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron a lot of credit for his success.

“We even ran some of the same plays we run here,” Hill says. “It was a big factor because it helped me with the transition of college offense to NFL offense. The learning curve wasn’t big for me.”
