Raion Hill
American football player
Raion Yance Hill (born September 2, 1976) is an American former professional football player who was a safety for two seasons with the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the LSU Tigers.
He attended Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, Louisiana, and graduated in 1994. He then went on to play at Louisiana State University. However, he broke his leg in 1995 and had a titanium rod placed in it. In his first defensive start against Auburn, he returned one interception 39 yards for a touchdown and another interception 98 yards for two points on a two-point conversion. The game was dubbed "The Night the Barn Burned". Hill finished his college career with 102 tackles and three interceptions.
After going undrafted in the 1999 NFL draft, Hill was cut by the Buffalo Bills and signed to their practice squad later in the season. He made the final roster in 2000 and played in all 16 games, leading the special teams unit with 39 tackles.

Why this record matters
“Raion Hill” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Raion, Hill and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14950082. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 1994, 1995 and 1999.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
