Hill played football for Texas A&I from 1964 to 1967 before he was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the 1968 NFL/AFL Draft as the 18th Overall Pick. He played in the NFL for the Chargers and the Packers He was a cornerback, damn good one, who went into the pro's . There were also four quality secondary that were in a four year window.

Sid Blanks was the very first black player to play in the league brought in by Gil Steinke and the Javelinas in the Lone Star Conferrence. He was the very first draft choice by the Houston Oilers.
I graduated from High School in 1968. I then went to the Air Force Academy for a year and then to A&I.
Gene Upshaw, from Robstown, played on the Javelina teams in 1963-66. I remember him visiting H.M. King High in Kingsville and meeting him there. He then was drafted by the Raiders. When he kicked off for the Javelinas, the fans would stand up and yell, 'Field goal, Tuck!'
The professional players drafted into the NFL when I was given a scholarship there, were:
Eldridge Small, who joined the Texas A&I program after an outstanding high school career at Houston Wheatley, still holds the school record for most pass receptions in a game, season and career.
