Pretty good read

The word "Trill" entered the college football vernacular the last week of August 2014, as Texas A&M welcomed its next big thing.

The whirlwind that was Johnny Manziel set an otherworldly precedent on and off the field. Manziel -- charismatic, controversial, talented -- made headlines daily and departed College Station, Texas, as the most famous QB in the country, a notoriety that reached well into the pop culture mainstream.

Into that void stepped Kenny Hill.

"I was just dumb, man," Hill said of his sprint into the spotlight in 2014, when he dubbed himself "Trill" -- slang for real or legitimate -- just a week into his career as Texas A&M's starter.

Hill's first start came in Texas A&M's opener against preseason top 10 South Carolina, a Thursday night affair that would be the Aggies' first game in the post-Manziel era. Hill was a revelation. He threw for a school-record 511 yards and three touchdowns. He helped A&M's offense to 52 points -- a number Manziel never managed against a ranked SEC foe. In an instant, the narrative shifted from "replacing Johnny Football" to "Johnny who?"

Welcome to the big time, Kenny Trill.
