Hill, 26, signs his third contract with the Ravens after being drafted in the fourth round (No. 113 overall) in the 2019 draft by Baltimore.
Hill has been a stable, consistent player for the Ravens with 1,038 offensive snaps and 589 special teams snaps since 2019. In that time, he’s amassed 1,375 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns, along with 593 return yards.
In 2024, Hill has been heavily leaned on in the offense, out-snapping running back Derrick Henry in the first two games.
Steadily, Hill has developed from a special teams contributor and rotational receiving back into an all-purpose utility player on offense. In August, Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh gave Hill high praise for how his development and work ethic.
“The evolution of Justice [Hill] as a player is that this guy has become a starting [running] back in the National Football League,” Harbaugh said on August 1. “If you watch him play – look at the [AFC] Championship game. He is a high caliber running back. So, to have him along Derrick [Henry], along with the young guys, it’s really great. He’s going to give us a little different style than Derrick Henry. I see him as a starter. I think he’s going to play a lot and kind of do it his way.”
