After registering 68 total tackles, 4 sacks, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble during the 2017 regular season, his first with the Pittsburgh Steelers, slot cornerback Mike Hilton only had 57 total tackles, 1 sack, and an interception during the 2018 regular season. This past week, the former undrafted free agent out of Mississippi attempted to explain why his total amount of splash plays decreased some this past season.
“When people are used to seeing splash plays from you, they expect the same thing,” said Hilton, according to Teresa Varley of steelers.
