T.Y. Hilton Remains The Top Receiver In Indy
5 years agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton finds himself in a more crowded receiver group after the addition of second-round wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., but Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni says that Hilton is still the "lead dog" on the team. If new quarterback Philip Rivers still has the arm strength that's helped him succeed with the Chargers, Hilton could be a big winner of this offseason, with Sirianni saying that Hilton's "flat-out speed" can help the team out in the vertical passing game, something we'll see more of with Rivers in town. Hilton's being ranked as a fringe WR2 right now, but he has the upside to finish as a high-end WR2 if things work out with Rivers.
