It may be that we find out soon that we have been experiencing the final days of Mike Hilton as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and if that is the case, then the team will certainly be worse off for it. One of the most versatile defensive backs in the NFL, Hilton has been playing at a bargain for the past four seasons, but is now due to be an unrestricted free agent, a long-awaited status for the former undrafted free agent.
I would argue that one of the keys to his success has simply been knowing who is he and what he is capable of.
