The Miami Dolphins have made a significant addition to their defensive backfield by signing veteran cornerback Mike Hilton. Known for his consistent performance as a slot cornerback during his eight-year tenure with both the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers, Hilton has established himself as a reliable player. At 31 years old, his PFF score has exceeded 63 in each season, including an impressive 75.9 in 2024. With 13 interceptions and multiple forced fumbles to his name, Hilton is expected to bolster Miami's secondary, although it seems likely that he will continue to play primarily in the slot position. This signing may potentially lead to a role shift for fellow Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou, who has experience in both slot and wide cornerback roles. Miami's move indicates a proactive approach to enhancing their defense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
