The Detroit Lions acquire Shaun Hill from the 49ers
The Lions have acquired 30-year old QB Shaun Hill from the 49ers for a 7th round pick in 2011. Hill played in 6 games for the 49ers last season in which he completed 87 of 155 passes (56.1%) for 943 yards with 5 TD passes and 2 INTs (79.6 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 8 times for 70 yards (8.8 ypc) last season for the Niners. Hill has now played in 19 games in his NFL career in which he has completed 322 of 522 passes (61.7%) for 3,490 yards with 23 TD passes and 11 INTs (87.3 QB Rating). Hill also carried the ball 46 times for 197 yards (4.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs. This was a outstanding trade for the Lions as Hill will be a good backup for Matt Stafford in 2010. Hill might not have the strongest arm in the league but he gets the job done.
