"I'dcall to get stuff done around the house--carpet cleaning, things like that--andpeople would say, 'Good kickoff return,'" Andra recalls. "I'd be like,'I appreciate it.' Things got done quicker." Now, Andre' is aspecial-teamer with Buffalo, while Andra is Cleveland's defensive captain. Thetwo are close, and they share a bond.

"A coach who was recruiting him said,'We've had a Renaldo Hill here, so if you come, it will be like we never lost aRenaldo Hill,'" recalls the older Hill. "I think that scared him. Hewanted to go where he could start fresh." Reynaldo attended Florida, wherefolks got confused after Renaldo signed with Miami this year.
