Ah! Calvin Hill! The same Calvin Hill who married a woman who was roommates in college with the future First Lady and presidential candidate in Hilary Clinton. And the same Calvin Hill who was the father of NBA hall-of-famer Grant Hill.

@KWCline91: Google Mr. Hill his achievements are stunning.

Grant Hill's father was a great player for the Cowboys before injuries

Calvin Hill was a big RB, 6'4 235.

Billy Cannon was another that switched from back to tight end. He was a back with the Oilers then a tight end with the Raiders. Yes, it was with different teams.

Considering how big he is (6'4) and could catch, I'm not surprised he thought TE made sense.

Thanks for the video. Did you realize how tall Calvin Hill was? I think he was hoping this would extend his career. Normally your running backs have a Lower center of gravity and are 6’0 or shorter. Calvin Hill was 6’4. Yeah he was a great running back but you could see how it might have made sense. He was one of the tallest running backs to ever play the game

I always get a kick out of your videos. Some I knew about, some I didn’t, this is one I didn’t.

“Astute viewers will remember the position change by John David Crow,” I paraphrase. I wish I could be as astute as those viewers!

Thanks for giving some attention to Calvin Hill, who's on my All Time Cowboys team practice squad. You're right, though in fairness he did have an unusual body type for an RB. I wonder if his motivation was more prolonging his career or if really enjoyed the taste of playing TE he got in practice. Maybe a combination.

If he was a Raider, it may have happened. They did that with Billy Cannon (move to TE from RB), and they would do that with Todd Christensen (who, ironically, was drafted by Dallas as a FB in 1978) and Ethan Horton.

Hill had the height to play tight end (Christian McCaffrey doesn't), but not the weight or bulk. Tight end wasn't his lane.

Actually he did back in those days. And he always could've added 5-10 pounds.

He looks like a super sized Emmit Smith, but with breakaway speed that Smith didn’t have.

He was good. When we heard about his Idea. We thought he was ahhh!! Flake😮

Thanks for this video. I'm old enough to remember him as a player and I always wondered what happened to his career. For a while he seemed on track for the HOF, then he went to the World Football League for a season. When he came back to the NFL he played several more seasons, but after he came back was only a role player instead of a star. It seems like not seeing things on the same page was likely a big reason for him to go to the WFL, which was not a good career choice. Oddly enough, as good as he was in his early years, he also for two seasons took a back seat to Duane Thomas with the Cowboys. Duane Thomas would be another interesting subject for a KZread video.

JG9 when Hill came back to the NFL he really became a pass catching RB more than a runner. And was horribly used by George Allen on my Redskins which could have dampened his stats…. but prolonged his career as well.

You left out Duane Thomas, drafted a year after Hill, who had a couple of scorching seasons for the Cowboys

In fairness, as good of a runner he was, he was an even better pass receiver.

Even then Ivy Leagers had no common sense

Hill would have been succeeded as a RB, I believe. I would have wanted to extend his career anyways (injuries did inevitably play a role in Hill's opinion, I think). Calvin Hill is one of my all-time favorite players. He was a likeable guy and a good teammate. Injuries was unfortunately a problem with him.

He seems to be a great RB..... But have you noticed that he has a touch of "Stumblitis"?

He was a quality football player. What is wrong with him wanting to switch positions? He had his reasons. A better story would be why isn't he considered a hall of famer? I always enjoyed watching him play.

He became a third down receiver RB at Clevland alla Preston Pearson.

Nick Chubb is the best RB in football

Was this 12 or 14 game seasons. Most people forget that when they look at stats.

1960 was the last 12 game season. Hill was a rookie in '69.

Could you do some more videos on your baseball and college football channel please
