Mike Hilton chose to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason after spending the past four years as the nickel defender for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played his first game against his former team on Sunday, a victory, and according to teammate Tyler Boyd, he did an awful lot of talking leading up to it.
According to the Bengals’ website, Hilton addressed the team twice leading up to Sunday’s game against the Steelers, touching on his own experiences within the rivalry, and as a member of the Steelers. “He was just saying how basically, how he didn’t feel valued by them“, Boyd said.
