Draft

In the 3rd round with the 34th overall pick, Hill was taken by the Carolina Panthers.

Carolina Panthers

A few weeks after being drafted, Hill was moved to Dallas Cowboys, along with a 2016 7th round pick, for WR Tony Birk and a 2015 3rd round pick.

Dallas Cowboys

Hill spent eight of his nine seasons with the Cowboys and was the team's #1 wide receiver for the majority of those years. The team was very run-focused behind Vaughan Abraham. The Cowboys were successful for much of Hill's career, including a Super Bowl win in 2018 where he caught a touchdown. He hit free agency after the season but re-signed with the Cowboys after receiving heavy interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.

New York Giants

Hill was unreachable to reach a contract extension with the Cowboys after the 2021 season and hit free agency again. The rival New York Giants gave Hill a 1 year contract. Hill ruptured his MCL halfway through the season. Hill retired after the season.
