Injured former Eufaula, Ole Miss player KD Hill walking

When KD Hill, a former Eufaula High and Ole Miss football player, was in a car crash last month, it wasn’t immediately clear if he would walk again.

Now, in just little over a week and after having part of one of his legs amputated, Hill has begun the process.

Hill told his Facebook followers Monday not to worry about him.

“I am doing great!! Haven’t shed a tear or questioned God! Me and my mom blessed and happy I’m here. DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR ME. I AM STRONG. I can handle this. Thank you all and can’t respond to everyone but love y’all.”

“Once I fully recover you will hear my testimony. My mom is very strong. Keep praying for her. She got a call saying ‘your son has been in a truck over 3 in a half hours.’ She stayed strong cause she know her son,” he said

Hill was set to begin his professional career after signing with the XFL’s Orlando Guardians a few weeks before the July 21 accident.

He received the prestigious Chucky Mullins Courage Award last season and wore No. 38.
