LOS ANGELES –– Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor made an admission to cornerback Mike Hilton in their first conversation during the whirlwind of NFL free agency.
As the Bengals made Hilton one of the highest paid slot cornerbacks in the NFL, Taylor felt comfortable spilling the truth. Taylor told Hilton that for the last three years, he “was always worried about him” whenever Taylor saw Hilton in the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Taylor knew Hilton was one of the few slot corners in the NFL able to disrupt a game plan.
