First and foremost, CJ was only 6'1 compared to Hill who's 6'5.
CJ ran a 4.32. Hill runs a 4.3 flat.
CJ had a 38 1/2 vert. Hill had a 39.5' vertical. There is a big difference when comparing a 6'1 WR with a 38 1/2 vert to a 6'5 WR with a 39.5' vertical.
CJ had a 10'02'' broad jump. Hill has a 11'1 broad jump.
These two WR's were nothing a like coming out of college, so lets not act like they were.
You even admitted yourself PatsFan, that you remember a few years ago being "very high on a WR with great athletic ability and talent". Well, then, allow us the chance to be very high on our 2nd round draft pick (without trying to bring our fan base down), because if you were high on Chad Jackson due to his great athletic ability, we have every right to be excited about Stephen Hill especially considering the fact that he has greater athletic ability when compared to Jackson coming out of college.

Both WR's coming out of college are exactly alike, your combine measurements mean absolutely nothing.
My point is, both WR's were high 2nd round draft picks with athletic ability and talent entering the NFL. CJ turned out to be a complete bust.
No one knows what Hill will do in the NFL, and yes, Jets fans can be excited about Hill's potential.
And BTW, I have already said that I think Hill will be the best Jets draft pick of 2012.
