[edit] Pro Career
Although selected in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Reynaldo Hill was given every opportunity in the 2005 pre-season to show his worth. He showed enough to the coaches that they kept him on the roster. Jeff Fisher was mentioning Reynaldo Hill in interviews, so it was the general consensus that he would be given an opportunity. By the end of the year this inevitably had become true when Reynaldo Hill was playing opposite Adam "Pacman" Jones (6th overall) at cornerback. He beat out several other cornerbacks such as Tony Beckham, Andre Woolfolk, Rich Gardner and Michael Waddell for the starting position. The 52-yard interception for a touchdown against the Oakland Raiders sealed his approval for many Titans fans. Many NFL Analysts have noted Reynaldo Hill as a "steal" in the 2005 NFL Draft. Hill ended the 2005 season as the Titans interception leader with three, including one for a touchdown against the Oakland Raiders.
Reynaldo Hill enters the 2006 pre-season as the starting cornerback position opposite Adam "Pacman" Jones. With former first round pick Andre Woolfolk struggling to maintain his hold as the nickelback against 2005 fourth round pick, Safety Vince Fuller and 2004 pick Michael Waddell suffering an off-season injury, Reynaldo Hill who has drawn rave reviews from the coaching staff for his progression during the off-season, seems to have a hold as the starting Cornerback for the 2006 season.

[edit] Reynaldology
A sub-culture of Titans fans who "worship" Reynaldo Hill and see him as a key member of the team. Reynaldology had become popular amongst Titan fans before Hill had won the starting cornerback spot, raving about him in the training camps. He showed a good work-ethic, which at the time wasn't true about Adam "Pacman" Jones who was in a hold-out situation with the Titans. Going into his second season as the starter, Reynaldology is as strong as ever.
