  "account": "On January 2, 2023, the Cincinnati Bengals center Trey Hill was reported to be signing with the Washington Commanders. Hill was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft by the Bengals. During his time with Cincinnati, Hill played in twenty-five games, starting three as a primary backup and special teams contributor. He has played for four different teams, including the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Tennessee Titans. Standing at 6'4\" and weighing 319 pounds, Hill is a strong and physical center with an anchor-like presence. However, his draft profile suggests he struggles with the outside zone scheme. Washington likely signed Hill to add size and additional versatility in the center position during training camp. He might serve as a replacement for Julian Good-Jones on the practice squad or provide guard versatility in specific situations. As part of the deal, the Commanders released cornerback Tre Hawkins.",
