ExtremeRavens Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Running back Justice Hill has signed a two-year contract extension with the Ravens, the team announced Friday. Hill was scheduled to become a free agent after the season. The deal is worth $6 million, according to NFL Network. It is the third contract with the team for Hill, a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma State in 2019. The 26-year-old veteran is the lone player from that year’s draft class still on the roster. “Justice has become a really, really good football player,” coach John Harbaugh said after Friday’s practice. “Probably one of the greatest shining examples of come to work every day, ready to go to work every day and be at your best.” Hill has been a productive change-of-pace back during his tenure in Baltimore, rushing for 959 yards and five touchdowns on 208 carries and catching 61 passes for 416 yards and a touchdown over the past four-plus seasons. His most productive season came last year, when he had career highs in rushing yards (387) and touchdowns (three) while playing alongside Gus Edwards after starter J.K. Dobbins tore his Achilles tendon in Week 1. This season, Hill has split time with free agent acquisition Derrick Henry but has actually outpaced the two-time NFL rushing leader with 78 snaps to Henry’s 67 through two games. But Hill is a distant third on the team in rushing yards (25), well behind quarterback Lamar Jackson (167 yards) and Henry (130). Hill, who has eight catches for 62 yards this year, has also been a solid and consistent contributor in pass protection and on special teams and a respected presence in the locker room.
