As the Bengals were revamping the secondary this off-season, we saw Mike Hilton turn from foe to friend very quickly.
The sixth-year veteran out of Ole Miss spent the last four seasons as a starter in the Steelers’ defensive backfield, and it didn’t take long for him to establish himself as one of the premier slot cornerbacks in the game. Hilton comes to the Queen City to replace Mackenzie Alexander, who in his own right, had a solid single season in Cincinnati.
In terms of coverage, Hilton is one of the top slot corners in the NFL.
