Hillenmeyer is a borderline NFL player on another team.

Paris Lenon is better, and I didn't see a mention when he shipped off to Detroit.
I think part of the fascination in discussing Hunter Hillenmeyer is that he epitomizes the failure of Mike Sherman as a GM. And since he was once a GB Packer and we gave him away for free after trading two draft picks for him it's interesting to discuss him again.

I do think he's better than Paris Lenon as well. Right now Hillenmeyer would be the third best LB on our team. That says more about how well the Turtle has done bringing in new talent than how good Hillenmeyer is though.
