It could potentially be an interesting offseason for fourth-year defensive back Mike Hilton, who is scheduled to be a restricted free agent, having originally joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a street free agent. He was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2016, and spent that season on the practice squads of the New England Patriots and then the Steelers.
Hilton emerged as the team’s top nickel back by the start of the next season, and he has largely retained that post without interruption over the course of the past three years.
