T.Y. Hilton was an Indianapolis Colts great for many years. That seems like ages ago, even after he spent one season with the Dallas Cowboys, which is why some might be surprised that Hilton has officially announced his retirement, three seasons after he last played.
Hilton spent 10 seasons with Indy and had five seasons with 1,083 receiving yards or more. He led the league in the category in 2016 with 1,448. Is he a Hall of Famer? No, but he was important when it mattered, and scored 53 touchdowns for Indianapolis.
The oddness comes in that Hilton needed to go on social media to announce his retirement, as he hadn't played in the NFL since 2022, and many might have rightfully assumed he had already called it quits.
