T.Y. Hilton has gone from third-round draft pick to Pro Bowler during his three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Now, the 25 year old smaller! Wide receiver is looking to cash in on his success. Hilton is in the final year of his rookie contract, which will net him a roughly $1.5 million base salary in 2015. Given his past performance, it's only a matter of time before he receives a deal more in line with his abilities. Despite his strong play for the team, some wondered if the Colts' selection of Phillip Dorsett in the first round of the 2015 draft signaled the team's desire to move on from Hilton once his contract is up. Dorsett is a bigger stronger receiver and brings not just speed but also size to the team.
Marcelus I feel as though Hilton and Dorsett could be a dominant tandem in the Colts high-flying offense. They compliment each other giving that Hilton is more of a speedy receiver that relies on his quickness and Dorsett relying on his mixture of size and athletic ability. With T.Y Hilton being Andrew Luck's "go to" receiver I think keeping him would be a priority.
