Pick Analysis. WR. Round 3, Pick 92. TYHilton. 7. 46. Scouting Report. player

TY Hilton was selected in the third round of the 2012 Draft and he developed into a pillar player for the franchise in the post-Manning era.

Selected in the third round, Hilton burst onto the scene with 50 receptions, 861 yards, and seven touchdowns as a rookie. That was only just the start.

Over the last decade, Hilton put together a career that made him one of the NFL’s best wide receivers of the last 10 years and also one of the best receivers in franchise history.

From 2014 to 2017, Hilton was selected to four straight Pro Bowls and had the best season of his career in 2016. That year, he caught 91 passes for a league-leading 1,448 yards.

He has played his first 10 seasons with the Colts and fans are hoping he never puts on another jersey. In those 10 years, Hilton has played in 143 games and caught 631 passes for 9,691 yards and 53 touchdowns.
