A receiver with speed can easily manipulate a defender on this route by driving hard off the line to force the defender react to the possibility of a deep route. Then the receiver drops his hips and begins the turn to the ball while the defender is going deep.
However, Hill lacks this kind of refined game. At the snap, Hill drives off the line at a desirable angle, but the corner back is looking into the backfield to see if the route will be a short one. The angled back of Hill shows he's in the "drive phase" of his route.
This is where a player is accelerating to full speed. It will be Hill's job to convince the CB, who isn't paying attention to Hill's release, that he's serious about going vertical. Four yards down field Hill has already ended his drive phase and his back is nearly perpendicular with the ground. The CB has no concern that Hill is going deep. If Hill still had his back at the angle where he began his drive phase blue circle, black arrow , the CB would be turning to run deep.
In addition to leaving his drive phase, the Tech receiver changes his stride before his turn, taking a series of shorter steps rather than one plant and drop of the hips.

Hill catches the ball low and at his back hip with the defender coming from behind to hit him over the back. Hill's catch is a good result from bad technique. This is common in the college game where top shelf physical prowess can cover mistakes. In the NFL, Hill will need to maintain his drive phase longer, sink his hips to generate more immediate separation, and work towards towards the QB and the ball rather than veer outside where the CB can undercut the pass from behind.
A good result with bad form. This time CB plays nine yards off the line as his single coverage cushion. Hill has even more cushion on this hook route, but he doesn't know what to do with it. Hill drives off the line appropriately as the CB gets his read on the CB. Hill has to make the CB pay attention to him by continuing that drive phase as long as possible.
