S Will Hill

If this name seems familiar to Ravens fans, that’s because it is. Hill played four seasons in the NFL between 2012-2015, with the final two spent with the Ravens. Hill started 22 of his 26 games for Baltimore, posting 106 combined tackles and nine tackles for loss. Hill also defended 10 passes and picked up a pair of interceptions, taking one back for a touchdown. He also famously returned a blocked field goal for the game-winning touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in his final season, an event dubbed the “Kick Six.”

Hill played for the Battlehawks in the XFL and had a pair of interceptions along with 33 total tackles, finishing sixth in the league in tackles. Hill is 30 years old which puts him towards the backend of his career but he certainly still has the talent to find a place on an NFL roster.

Hill’s time in the NFL was not uneventful off the field, however, which led to his eventual departure from it. He’s been suspended three times — once for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs and twice for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. He was released prior to the 2016 season when the Ravens learned that he had failed another drug test, landing him a 10-game suspension. This could be a major stumbling block in the bid to forge a reunion between him and the Ravens.
