The New York Giants have waived Will Hill after his third drug suspension in three years.

The NFL announced Friday that Hill would be suspended for the first six games of the 2014 season due to his latest violation of the league's substance abuse policy. Hill also missed the first four games of the 2013 season and four games during the 2012 season for drug violations.

Hill emerged as a productive safety last season after his suspension and was slated to start alongside Antrel Rolle.

Hill was a standout at the University of Florida, but he went undrafted as a result of off-field concerns. The Giants knew of those risks when they signed Hill as an undrafted free agent.
