Who has a better 2015: TY Hilton or Andre Johnson?

After the Indianapolis Colts picked up Andre Johnson in free agency, just about every Colts fan could not wait until the 2015 season. The tandem of Johnson and 4th year wide out T.Y. Hilton could be one of the best one-two punches in the NFL at the position, especially with Andrew Luck throwing to them.

Hilton had a great 2014 season finishing with 82 receptions, 1,345 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns. Hilton was one of Luck’s favorite targets out on the field in 2014, especially as a deep threat. Hilton is poised for another huge year even with the additions of 33 year old Johnson, 1st rounder Phillip Dorsett, Duron Carter, and possibly Vincent Brown. Not to mention the second year wide receiver Donte Moncrief who is ready to have a breakout season this year. #FEEDMONCRIEF 

Hilton may not have as many receptions but I can see him produce the same amount of yards if not more than he did in 2014.

My 2015 predictions for T.Y Hilton:

74 Receptions        1,325 Receiving Yards       9 Touchdowns

Johnson’s entire career has featured passes from quarterbacks who are mediocre (at best). It is extremely exciting to wonder how great he can be with a quarterback like Andrew Luck throwing to him. In 2014, Johnson had one of his worst seasons, but it still wasn’t all that terrible with 85 receptions, 936 yards and three touchdowns.

That’s very much a down year for him and some said that it was Johnson’s age finally showing its ugly face. However, I truly believe that he definitely has some left in the tank and will leave it all on the field in order for him to finally get his ring. He will definitely be feeling pressure from the receivers behind and from T.Y. at the other side. But I think that if Andre Johnson is our #2 wide out, then we must have a damn good team, right? Right.

My 2015 Predictions for Andre Johnson:

65 Receptions      950 Receiving Yards      8 Touchdowns

Winner:

T.Y. HILTON

Hilton is one of the best young receivers in the game at the moment, and I do not expect that to change this upcoming season. The only thing to worry about is after the season when his contract expires.
