San Francisco 49ers cornerback Eric Wright, who attended rival Archbishop Riordan High School, won the award.

[1] In his last three seasons (2004–2006), he recorded 32 touchdown catches, breaking the school career-record of 22 set by Hugh Campbell (1960–62), and tying for second on Pac-10's all-time list.

Hill was selected in the third round of the 2007 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers, his hometown team.

[4] At the 2007 NFL Combine, Hill ran a 4.32 in the 40-yard dash, making him the second-fastest receiver in the draft behind Yamon Figurs (4.30).

Hill played sparingly in his rookie year with the 49ers, appearing in only five games due to lingering hamstring and groin injuries.

[7] Hill was signed by the New York Jets on October 3, 2012, after Santonio Holmes was placed on injured reserve due to a Lisfranc injury.
