Offensive tackle · Jets 1963–1976
The protector who kept showing up
Hill gave the Jets something every quarterback needs: a protector they could trust for years. Released by Baltimore, he found his football home in New York and became a fixture on the line, including the Super Bowl III championship team. His 195 consecutive games and eight combined AFL All-Star and NFL Pro Bowl selections tell the story of that dependability, rather than a single celebrated play.
The person behind the name
A reliable tackle gives everyone around him room to work. Hill’s long service helped hold the Jets’ line together through their championship years.
His eight all-star selections included five at left tackle and three at right tackle.
Jets years: 1963–1976. The honors above distinguish team recognition from Canton’s whole-career recognition.
