Kylin Hill fought to change the Mississippi flag. Next up: The NFL. Michael Lee © Allison V. Smith/For The Washington Post Kylin Hill, a former Mississippi State running back, was instrumental in getting the Mississippi state flag changed. He s now an NFL draft prospect. If Kylin Hill has a regret about last year, it’s that he wasn’t able to run into Davis Wade Stadium carrying Mississippi’s new state flag, waving it for all to behold. Hill was the one who put himself out there in June, declaring in a 98-character tweet that he wouldn’t play another game for Mississippi State unless his home state changed its flag. He was the one who had to see those hate-filled replies on social media, who had to fear for his mother and grandmother when the racist backlash spilled into their homes in Columbus, Miss. He was the one who risked his college football career and maybe his NFL draft prospects by taking a stand.
