Stroke is typically caused by high blood pressure so it is likely unrelated to his profession too. Not every ex-player that gets ill/dies young is due to injuries/trama incurred while playing. Accountants, lawyers and janitors die of the same things every day.

Hill is still #2 in receiving yards and TDs for that franchise.

Get well soon 85.

Some have recovered, some have lasting effects,
some of us live through daily medication.

Everyone over 40 should have regular BP checks.

But I pray that Drew Hill recovers, has a long life!

There’s a couple of atheists here who troll around, looking for any comments with “God” or “prayers” in it.

I guess it’s what we should expect from Godless people.

I’ll be praying for you, Mr. Hill, may the love, comfort, and healing of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ be with you and those who love you in this great time of need.

God bless!

OMG
My prayers and best wishes go out to Mr. Hill and his family and friends

Why in the world would anybody give this comment a “thumbs down?” Seems like somebody could say that world peace is a good idea and it would get a few of those on this site…

Before I became a regular PFT reader, a lot of these stories slipped past me. Now I’m so much more aware of players suffering these debilitating issues at such young ages. I remember Hill’s years with the Oilers; he was a fine receiver. God bless him and his family. I pray his treatment will be successful.

God Bless.

It’s impossible to say whether or not this is related to football. At age 54, these kinds of things can happen to anyone.

Moon to Hill wasd a great thing to watch. Prayers to him and his family!!

On a side note, nobody has said this is related to playing football. Strokes/aneurysm can happen to just about anybody at anytime.

“My prayers and best wishes go out to Mr. Hill and his family and friends”

“I hope he pulls through – you hate to read stories like this one.”

and

“A terrific Pro. Im sure every one wishes him well. God bless you Drew”

What I want to know is who was the stupid idiot who went through each one and disliked them?

I mean really, a man could be dying and you are disliking comments that wish him well?

I will say a prayer for him and his loved ones.

He was truly an amazing talent for the Oilers back in the day.

Get well soon.

Split the gold lot & play ball.
