Mike Hilton rightfully earned a spot among fan favorites as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers over four years. The Cincinnati Bengals offered him the best opportunity in free agency a year ago, however, so off he went to the Steelers’ division rivals—where he helped them, for the first time in three-plus decades, win in the postseason.
Now established as one of their defensive leaders, he has become a fixture in their locker room and a regular player to watch on the practice field. Especially because he routinely pulls what he calls a “best on best” matchup with Tyler Boyd.
