Mike Hilton emerged as one of the top nickel defenders in the NFL and now has Marlon Humphrey studying him. While Hilton still searches for his next team, having already played for the Steelers and Bengals, he is now indirectly teaching a Raven how to do what he did. This past week, Humphrey talked about adjusting to the slot and brought up the former AFC North presence.
“I’ve taken notes from a lot of different guys across the league that have a lot of success blitzing, [such as] Mike Hilton and, obviously, Kyle Hamilton, some of those guys that show a lot of just different finesse and different ways to get in there,” Humphrey said, via the Ravens’ website.
