2024 BENGALS NOTES
Nickel CB Mike Hilton, a free agency acquisition of the
Bengals in 2021, is widely considered one of the top slot corners in the NFL.
Though listed at 5-9, 184 pounds, he is a sure tackler and an excellent blitzer
with 11.5 career sacks. He has 32 total tackles in eight games played this
season, missing Week 5 due to a knee injury.
He notched five stops in Week 6 at
the N.Y. Giants and broke up a pass on a fourth-down play early in the second
half, then followed up with five more tackles (one TFL) the next week at
Cleveland.
He is coming off a season-best eight stops with a TFL in Week 9 vs.
Las Vegas. In 2023, Hilton recorded career highs in total tackles (84) and TFLs
(12).
