Study: Is Blitzing Mike Hilton Worth It?

Quick study I wanted to look at today. Since slot corner Mike Hilton is among the most frequent and well-known blitzing corners, I wanted to check out to see if the defense’s outcomes are any better when they send him compared to when they don’t. And to see if there’s been any diminishing returns to his blitzes now that offenses caught on to the idea.

Here are the QBs stats over the last three years when Hilton is sent on a blitz.

2019 69.2% 388 2 2 87.
