Today we have another walk-on wide receiver that is very promising. In fact, he even played a little bit last year on special teams.

Wide Receiver
2016 Projection: Special Teams contributor
Hilger may not see time at receiver because that is one of Purdue's deeper positions, but he will likely be seen quite a bit on special teams. Last season as a redshirt freshman he saw action in all 12 games as a member of the kickoff team. He even got in on five tackles, which led all walk-ons that played.
