Jeremy Hill, former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion, has announced his retirement from professional football. Hill cited injuries sustained in 2018 as the reason for his decision and expressed a desire to help the next generation of football players.
Hill began his football career in college at LSU, where he was known for his powerful running style. He was then drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. Hill had an impressive rookie season, rushing for over 1,000 yards and scoring nine touchdowns. He also scored the lone touchdown in a playoff loss that season.
However, Hill’s career was derailed by a fumble in the playoffs the following year. Despite tying for the NFL lead with 11 rushing touchdowns that season, his production steadily decreased in the subsequent years. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury midway through the 2017 season and was released from the Raiders in 2020 after attempting a comeback in the XFL.
In a social media post, Hill acknowledged the impact his injuries had on his career but expressed gratitude for the experiences he had as a professional athlete. He thanked his family, coaches, and former teammates for their support and pledged to help the next generation of football players.
Hill’s retirement marks the end of a brief but memorable career in the NFL. He rushed for 2,898 yards and 29 touchdowns and caught 68 passes for 490 yards and one touchdown in his six-year career. Despite his ups and downs on the field, Hill’s commitment to helping the next generation of football players ensures that his impact on the sport will continue beyond his retirement.
