Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill signed a two-year contract extension on Friday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the Ravens, however, the NFL Network reported it was worth $6 million.
Hill, 26, was due to be a free agent at the end of this season. He has five carries for 25 yards and eight receptions on 10 targets for 62 yards in two games this season.
“Justice has become a really good football player,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “Probably one of the greatest shining examples of coming ready to work every day, ready to go to work every day and be at your best.”
Iill has more offensive snaps (78) than starter Derrick Henry (67), the All-Pro running back who signed with Baltimore as a free agent in March.
“I just come to work every single day. I wasn’t paying much attention to (the contract),” Hill said, per The Athletic. “… I’m a Raven, man. This is where I want to be. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”
The Ravens selected Hill in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State.
A special teams contributor in his first four seasons, Hill has played in 61 games (five starts) and has rushed for 959 yards and five touchdowns on 208 attempts. He also caught 61 passes for 416 yards and one score.
