If there were just one player from the deep roster that was the most intriguing to get a look at tonight, I think that many would have said Mike Hilton, the first-year former undrafted free agent cornerback who spent some time on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad late last year.
A former teammate of Senquez Golson’s at Ole Miss, the 5’9” defensive back failed to crack a 53-man roster during his rookie season, but his preseason debut with the Steelers was a textbook example of how to do just that.
While it would require some reviewing in order to recap everything that he managed to do during the night against the Giants, Hilton was active on both defense and special teams.
