Fred Hill Biography

Fred Hill is a retired NFL tight end who played seven seasons in the league with both the Baltimore Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to his time in the NFL, Hill played collegiately at the University of Southern California for four seasons, helping the Trojans win the 1962 national championship. Following his graduation, Hill was drafted in the fourth round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts. Hill was then traded later that season to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he would spend the rest of his career until retiring in 1971. In his final season, Hill learned that his five year old daughter had been diagnosed with Leukemia, but was later cured due to the help of Eagles GM Jim Murray and owner Leonard Tose. Their work with Hill’s daughter was essential in the creation of the Eagles Fly for Leukemia charity, which is one of the largest NFL affiliated charities to this day. Hill now owns multiple McDonalds franchises in southern California, and still does charity work to this day.
