Colts Offensive Player of the Year: T.Y. Hilton

While Luck would be a strong candidate in his own right to take this honor, for the sake of variety, we’ll select his favorite wideout in

. Coming off a breakout season in which he made his 1st career Pro Bowl, Hilton is poised for another big season for the Colts. The 4th-year wideout will look to build off an impressive season that saw him catch 82 receptions for 1,345 yards and 7 touchdowns.As Luck’s go-to guy in the Colts offense, Hilton should have another pro bowl caliber season, maybe even more so.
