A former Miami Dolphins running back has passed away.
Multiple reports indicate that Eddie Hill, who played 75 NFL games across six seasons, is dead at 67, having taken his final breath this past Sunday.
Hill was selected out of Memphis by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round of the 1979 NFL Draft and played for the team for two years before a trade to the Dolphins. He spent the remaining four years of his career in Miami.
He rushed for 443 yards and two touchdowns on 120 carries for his career.
Former Los Angeles Rams And Miami Dolphins Running Back Eddie Hill Believed He Had CTE
The former back had remitting brain cancer in recent years and also believed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), although he couldn’t confirm it. Still, he didn’t regret playing football.
He spoke to the South Floria Sun-Sentinel in a feature on the poor health of several Miami Dolphins players in 2018, revealing he was in remission from brain cancer and was showing signs of CTE.
“Every life has a purpose and football was one of those biblical, scriptural things that I learned early in life that applied to me, the gift,” he said. “And recently, in the last 10-15 years, I’ve learned that purpose and I live that purpose.”
Hill had four children: Valencia, Quadtrine, Blaize, and Kyra.
TPS extends condolences to Eddie Hill’s family, friends, and loved ones.
