The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Senquez Golson in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft with hopes of him being a versatile slot cornerback who can play both the pass and run with equal efficiency.
At that time, Golson’s Ole Miss teammate, Mike Hilton, was preparing for his final year with the Rebels. In 2016, Hilton was an undrafted free agent pick up by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but was cut by the team before the start of the regular season. As a free agent, Hilton then signed with the New England Patriots to be a member of their practice squad, only to be released in September of 2016.
