Frederick Gordon Hill (born August 13, 1943 in Los Angeles, California) is a former professional American football player.

College career

Professional career

Hill was drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the 1965 NFL Draft but was soon traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, with whom he played at tight end from 1965 through 1971.

In 1971, his three-year-old daughter Kim was diagnosed with leukemia. His teammates, general manager Jim Murray, and team owner Leonard Tose rallied around the family.
