T.Y. Hilton really doesn’t get talked about enough when people bring up the best receivers of the 2010s. Dude was quietly giving defenses problems every Sunday while sharing an era with some absolutely ridiculous WR talent
From 2013-18, Hilton had five 1,000-yard seasons in six years, led the entire NFL with 1,448 receiving yards in 2016, and was one of the nastiest deep threats of his generation. The speed was different, his routes were clean, and once he got behind the secondary it was basically over.
And people forget he had to deal with Andrew Luck unexpectedly retiring right in the middle of his career. Give Hilton a few more years of prime Luck and I genuinely wonder how differently we’d remember his resume. Maybe he wasn’t Julio or AB, but prime T.Y. absolutely belongs in the conversation with the best receivers from that era.
How underrated was T.Y. Hilton: Top 10 WR of the 2010s or nah? 👀
