Third-year Pittsburgh Steelers slot cornerback Mike Hilton is looking for a few things this year. First and foremost, he would love to earn himself a new contract, which will be a tough ask given his position. While he is the primary nickel back, they do have options outside of him, and he will only be a restricted free agent in 2020. Beyond that, he’s also looking to get more turnovers. He has three interceptions in his two-year career.
And he’s looking for a bigger role as well. Not more snaps. Not working on the outside (the slot is “where I’m most comfortable”, he told Chris Adamski).
