Camp outlook: Hilton will be battling for sub package snaps with Cameron Sutton and perhaps Artie Burns.
He’s also looking for a new contract after signing his one-year ERFA tender on the eve of camp. He’ll be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
Projected role: Hilton should be the team’s starting Nickel cornerback — a role that now plays the majority of the team’s snaps.
