EAGAN, Minn. — Rashod Hill got a head start on his film prep for Week 1, as the tackle said Monday that he began watching the Bengals last week.
And as he prepares to start in a season opener for just the second time in his career, Hill also reflected about his own journey the past few days.
"Yeah, I was actually thinking about that yesterday. I was talking to my wife," Hill said of his winding road. "I still think about that sometimes … my journey from coming out, being undrafted, practice squad, getting here.
"It's special that I have an opportunity to be a starter again right now, which is a blessing," Hill added. "I ain't taking it for granted. But I do still think about it sometimes."
Hill arrived in Minnesota in November 2016 after joining the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent earlier that year. The Jacksonville native spent time on the practice squad for his hometown team but was bumped up to the 53-man roster upon landing with the Vikings.
He was a key contributor in 2017, starting seven total games, all but one at right tackle. He started eight games in 2018, holding the right tackle spot for five games until Brian O'Neill was ready, and then switching to the left side for three games when Riley Reiff was injured.
Hill has mostly been Minnesota's swing tackle the past two season, starting the season finales in 2019 (right tackle) and 2020 (left tackle).
