Per a source: Lions TE Josh Hill is retiring, which explains why the team is bringing Darren Fells in for a visit. Suddenly, another need at TE

I’ll never forget that double reverse Payton ran with him against the jets on crucial 4th and 1... horrible

Despite his shortcomings, he was a hell of a blocker.

The guy was the textbook definition of mediocre and he turned a UDFA contract into an 8 year NFL career.

Good for him.

Agreed. A valuable piece and saints missed him in the run game when he was out. Glad he stepping away now given his concussion history.

Solid role player who caught Brees’ record breaking TD throw.

Hope he enjoys his retirement.

Crazy thing is dude would get like 10yards on those screens.
Hell of a player.

I remember when pace tried to sign him away from the saints.

He is/was the clinical example of “tight hips”.

I think he was missing some joints or vertebrae…

Happy retirement big fella, TYFYS!

That’s surprising especially since he just got a nice little contract from Detroit. He must have nagging injuries that just aren’t worth dealing with to be ready to play. Wish him all the best, he was a great role player and a good locker room presence too.

Liked him but still very bitter about he and Watson costing us NFCCG versus Rams. We win if we have just one of them man up and do their job like 99% of football players throughout history would have done.

Tom Brady played through AFCCG concussion in Denver (Peyton’s last year) and he is GOAT and had 4 SB’s at the time already.

Never forget him catching the pass for the Brees TD record that was a fun night in the dome

More times than not when we needed the first down Josh Hill got the first down.

Except in NFCCG versus Rams when he voluntarily took himself out of the biggest game of his life.
