"It was tough, man," Hill said. Only thing I'm going to say is, man, money is a crazy thing for a lot of people," Hill said.

Hill recorded 959 receiving yards last season, averaging 56.4 yards per game, his lowest totals since 2019 and 2016, respectively. Hill deferred the surgery until after the season but said Wednesday that he's grateful for the procedure after initially having been nervous about it.
