He has previously played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, and Carolina Panthers.

He played defensive back and wide receiver for a team that posted an 11–2 record his senior season; however, all of those wins were forfeited when it was learned that Hill was ineligible.

[9][10][11] Throughout training camp, Hill competed for a roster spot as a backup cornerback against Chris Lewis-Harris, Onterio McCalebb, and Brandon Ghee.

[15] Upon joining the active roster, head coach Marvin Lewis named Hill the fourth cornerback on the Bengals’ depth chart, behind Dre Kirkpatrick, Leon Hall, and Josh Shaw.

On December 6, 2015, Hill made his professional regular season debut and recorded three solo tackles during a 37–3 win at the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Following the Rams' relocation to Los Angeles, Hill competed for a roster spot in training camp against Jabriel Washington and Mike Jordan.

[23] On September 25, 2016, Hill earned his first career start and collected a season-high 11 solo tackles during a 37–32 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.

On November 22, 2016, the Los Angeles Rams released Hill and signed him to their practice squad after he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence (See Personal life).

[19] On January 13, 2017, the Los Angeles Rams announced their decision to hire Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay as their new head coach.

[36] Hill started the final three games of the regular season as well as the wild card loss to the Atlanta Falcons in place of the injured Kayvon Webster, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 14.

After wearing #32 since becoming a Ram, Hill voluntarily gave up his jersey number during the 2019 offseason after being paid $32,000 by free agent signee Eric Weddle and switched to #20.

California Highway Patrol responded to the scene of the accident and arrested Hill after noticing signs of intoxication and performing a field sobriety test.
