INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton is coming off a season where he had 1,345 yards receiving, seven touchdowns and a Pro Bowl appearance.
Speed is definitely not an issue for Hilton. The New England Patriots are the only team that has found a way to slow Hilton down by providing help over top when he gets behind the initial defensive back.
It looks like the folks over at EA Sports' popular “Madden” game don't think Hilton has elite speed.
Hilton went to Twitter on Friday to voice his unhappiness about being given a 92 speed rating on this year’s version of the game. His 92 speed rating is the same as Atlanta's Julio Jones and Odell Beckham Jr.'s from the New York Giants.
My speed is only a 92 in madden?? Wow. And I dnt do the T.Y. when I score. THATS CRAZY @EAMaddenNFL #THEGHOST
