Coming out of the University of Texas last year, Hill went undrafted before signing with the Vikings. The 22-year-old emerged as one of the NFL's best success stories, finishing sixth among all cornerbacks with a 67.0 quarterback rating allowed. 

Hill also tied for third among Minnesota defenders with seven passes defensed. He appeared in all 16 games as a rookie, making three starts. 

The Vikings will miss Hill's presence in their secondary. They allowed the fewest passing touchdowns (15) and ranked third in passing yards allowed (3,140) in 2018.
