Hired Feb. 19, 2024, Aaron Hill begins his first season as strength and conditioning coordinator for the Packers. Hill is entering his sixth season coaching in the NFL, having spent the past five seasons as a strength and conditioning assistant with the San Francisco 49ers.
During his five seasons with the 49ers, Hill was part of a staff that helped the team to two Super Bowl appearances (2019 and 2023), a 54-29 regular-season record (.651, No. 5 in the NFL), three division titles, four playoff berths and four double-digit-win seasons (most in the NFC). The 49ers featured 30 Pro Bowl selections over the last five seasons, including seven-plus selections in each of the last three seasons (2021-23).
In 2023, Hill was part of a staff that helped San Francisco to top-10 league rankings in total offense (No. 2, 398.4 ypg), points scored (No. 3, 28.9 ppg), total defense (No. 8, 303.9 ypg) and points allowed (No. 3, 17.5 ppg). The 49ers featured a league-high nine players who were selected to the original Pro Bowl roster and five players who earned first-team All-Pro recognition from The Associated Press.

Prior to joining the 49ers, Hill spent four seasons (2015-18) at Vanderbilt University as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the football program, working with the team during the season and in the offseason. During his time with the Commodores, he worked with eight players who went on to be selected in the NFL Draft, including LB Oren Burks, who was picked by Green Bay in the third round in 2018, and LB Zach Cunningham, who led the NFL in tackles as a member of the Houston Texans in 2020. Hill joined the Commodores following an offseason internship with the Carolina Panthers in 2015. He also served as a strength and conditioning intern at the University of Minnesota in 2014.

He ranked No. 3 on the team with 72 tackles (52 solo) as a senior in 2013, starting all 13 games and adding two INTs (including a TD return), two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles.
