Kadarian ‘KD’ Hill has a powerful testimony as he shares how a little boy with a big dream became a powerful man with an even bigger dream. At a very young age, KD Hill discovered football and passion for the game. With the help of his single mom, who worked hard to provide for herself and her young son, he learned the game and became a powerful force playing defense for an SEC powerhouse! While on that journey, he became an award-winning defensive tackle. Yet, his dream was to play in the NFL. After his final season playing for the Ole Miss Rebels, and with his dream seemingly coming to fruition, he began a targeted training program and garnered the interest of several NFL teams. On and off the field he had proved himself to be the man and athlete he had always dreamed of being. However, in order to provide for his family while continue to train for the NFL draft, KD was driving a truck late one night when the unthinkable happened. On the morning of July 21, 2023 around 4:30 AM, just outside of Cullman, Alabama, everything changed concerning his NFL Dream. In a matter of the seconds that it takes for an accident to happen, KD found himself pinned in the truck with his right leg smashed by the dashboard of the freightliner he was driving. Within 10 minutes the state trooper was on the scene of the accident and more help was on the way, KD was given the news that, for him to be freed from the truck, part of his right leg would have to be amputated. The surgeon arrived on the scene, freed KD from the truck and the dream of a career in the NFL ended. However, KD knew that God was his refuge and source of strength in his time of trouble no matter what came next, as football wasn’t KD’s only dream, and it wasn’t God’s ultimate plan for his life. Today, KD is a successful motivational speaker speaking to football teams and business organizations and sharing his story of hope, overcoming challenges, and finding success after tragedy. He has been a guest on Good Morning America and is loving life while living out a dream bigger than he ever had before. A now author of his memoir titled, The UpHill Climb: The KD Hill Story, KD will be sure to inspire you through today’s conversation with his practical perspective shifts and resounding hope and faith in a God who has EVERYTHING within His control!
