Four-star recruit who was the top-ranked receiver in LSU's 2021 class (ahead of Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.). Participated in four all-star games (Hula Bowl, American Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl, Senior Bowl) and received a combine invite despite going undrafted. Jay Gruden, who coached him in the Hula Bowl, endorsed him: 'Kid can play! Nice pickup.'NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
Career production at LSU: 41 receptions for 780 yards and six touchdowns over five years; only 10 receptions for 122 yards as a redshirt senior. Limited production was driven by LSU's passing game struggles after quarterback Garrett Nussmeier injured his abs, which severely limited his play. Drafted 50th among receivers by The Athletic's Dane Brugler with a free agent grade. Started only seven games over five years; multiple injuries sidetracked early career (torn meniscus in 2021, shoulder surgery and torn meniscus in 2022, hairline fracture in 2024).NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
Combine measurements: 6'0"-flat, 188 pounds, 4.41-second 40-yard dash. Per RAS.football analysis: okay size for a WR and good speed; explosiveness is neither a strength nor a weakness, but poor agility drills are likely to show up when facing NFL cornerbacks. Limited snap count at LSU hindered his ability to develop as a route runner; he was up and down with his hands and his success rate nosedived when defenders crowded his air space.NegativeRoleAug 10, 2026
Claimed off waivers by Green Bay after being released by Washington Commanders one day after the team signed Stefon Diggs to a one-year, $12 million contract. Hilton received $15,000 in guarantees from Washington, which was equal to or more than 6 of the Packers' 11 initial UDFA signings. He should make his Packers debut in Monday's practice.
