Professional career
Hill was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1965 NFL draft and the Oakland Raiders in the 1965 AFL draft. He chose to join the Eagles, with whom he played at tight end and wide receiver from 1965 through 1971.[1][2]
Personal life
In 1971, his five-year-old daughter Kim (August 11, 1966 – March 5, 2011) was diagnosed with leukemia. His teammates, general manager Jim Murray, and team owner Leonard Tose rallied around the family.

Kim Hill died in 2011.[3]
