Hill spent four seasons with the Dolphins, putting up career-best receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in 2023. Hill suffered a dislocated knee and torn ACL four games into the 2025 season, and he was sidelined for the rest of the year.
The Chiefs drafted Hill in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of West Alabama University. Hill quickly became a mainstay of the Chiefs' offense over the next six seasons, earning Pro Bowl designations each year. He was named first-team All-Pro in three of those seasons.
