T.Y. Hilton Officially Announces his Retirement

Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton officially announced his retirement from professional football on Wednesday. Hilton last played for the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 after 10 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. The 36-year-old only appeared in three games for the Cowboys and caught seven of his 10 targets for 121 yards and no touchdowns. In his prime, though, Hilton was one of the best receivers in the game, making four straight Pro Bowls from 2014 to 2017 and having four straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 2013 to 2016 with Indy. The former third-round pick in 2012 out of Florida International had five 1,000-yard seasons in his 11-year career and finished his successful stint in the NFL with a total of 638 receptions for 9,812 yards and 53 touchdowns on 1,086 targets. Hilton led the league in 2016 with 1,448 yards while also catching 91 passes and finding the end zone six times.
