"I had always heard, 'If you love New Orleans, New Orleans will love you back,'" Hill said in his post. I'm still working through what comes next, but I couldn't move forward without taking the time to say thank you." If Hill does not play again, he will retire as one of only five players in NFL history to score at least 10 touchdowns each via rushing, receiving and passing. "We had the touchdown, then the next play he tried to get me another one and then the next play he called the screen to me," Hill said after the game.
