I think it is safe to say Mike Hilton’s 2018 season left a lot to be desired. Hilton wanted a new contract, and didn’t miss a workout trying to prove his worth to the organization, but the reality of the situation was the organization wasn’t sure what they had in Hilton.
Was he more of the 2017 version which was a demon coming on the blitz, or the 2018 version who was vulnerable, and often picked on, in coverage?
The 2019 season saw Hilton take a step in the right direction. His play was more consistent, and he seemed to have covered up some of his failures in coverage which plagued him in 2018.
