The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that Wisconsin running back P.J. Hill is leaning towards declaring for the NFL draft. Hill led UW in rushing for the third consecutive year, rushing for 1161 yards on 226 carries. Hill is third on Wisconsin’s all-time rushing list with 3942 yards in his career. However, his numbers have dropped in each of his seasons, falling from a career high 1,569 rushing yards his freshman year. Hill’s jump to the NFL would probably move redshirt freshman John Clay into the top spot on the depth chart, with Zach Brown backing him up. Clay and Brown combined for 1,189 yards on the ground in 2008. The Journal Sentinel article can be found [here.](http://www.jsonline.com/sports/badgers/37246109.html)
