Interestingly, one fan thinks Hill still has a chance to make it in soccer, as he’s only 28 years old. Moreover, the fan feels Hill just needs to play soccer regularly for one year and wants Hill to go for it.
Bro you’re a millionaire. And you’re only 28. You could totally be a soccer player. If your skill level is still there, why not? You already got that bag. I bet if you spent a year training for soccer, you could transition over. Life is short. Go for it

Meanwhile, a few fans feel Hill chose the right path, as one fan tweeted:
No you chose correctly. Leave soccer for the kids and women. Football is something very few have the heart and skill to do. As much as your speed gets credited the toughness of a slot reciever is legendary. It takes a warrior to come across that middle and stay focused.

This is a disgusting and unpatriotic tweet that I demand you delete immediately
