The turnaround of the Cincinnati Bengals over the last two seasons has been nothing short of dramatic. From the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft following a two-win season, Cincinnati found themselves just seconds away from a Super Bowl title.
While drafting great young talent like Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, Logan Wilson and others played a large role in the change, key veteran free agent signings from outside of the organization have had just as much impact. In some ways, such as leadership, even more of an impact.
No player on the roster personifies that more than cornerback Mike Hilton.
