T.Y. Hilton Was '5 Seconds Away' from Joining Ravens Prior to Colts Contract

T.Y. Hilton has never played for an NFL team besides the Indianapolis Colts, but he was apparently close to joining another AFC team.

The veteran wide receiver told Pat McAfee that he was "five seconds from being a Raven" and said that he tweeted a cryptic string of eyeball emojis because he was almost gone from the Colts:
