Harlon Hill was a standout player as an offensive end at Florence State Teachers College (now the University of North Alabama), being named an NAIA All-American in his senior year (1953). He later had a successful career in the NFL, playing for the Chicago Bears (1954-1961), Pittsburgh Steelers (1962), and Detroit Lions (1962). Hill was the NFL’s rookie of the year in 1954, its most valuable player in 1955, and a three-time All-Pro selection (1954-1956). He is the namesake of the Harlon Hill Trophy.

After his NFL career was cut short by injury, Hill returned to Alabama and became a public school teacher and coach, eventually becoming a principal. He is retired from the Lauderdale County, Alabama school system and still resides in Alabama.
