Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton isn’t lacking any confidence heading into the 2020 season with a new quarterback. Now that he’s healthy, he envisions a big year ahead.
While Hilton has been the embodiment of toughness, playing through injuries over the last two seasons, the 30-year-old wideout is healthy as the Colts prepare for the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

When Hilton is healthy, he doesn’t think anyone has the capabilities to stop him.
Full quote from TY Hilton: "A healthy 13 is a different 13. Banged up or not, they can't stop me. Me healthy? They can't stop me. It's gonna be fun."

The last two seasons have been a bit rough for the Ghost. In 2018, he played through two sprains on the same ankle during the second half of the campaign. He still produced well, but the pain was obvious. The 2019 season wasn’t kind to him. He dealt with a groin injury and a calf injury, which limited him to just 10 games.
And while Hilton had a quick run-in with a hamstring injury before training camp, he has been practicing without limitations for the last three weeks. He has also shown off a strong rapport with Philip Rivers, which is encouraging for the pair to get off to a hot start.
The speedy pass-catcher feels as healthy now as he did in 2016 when he led the league in receiving yards.

Hilton is likely to see plenty of time lined up across from rookie cornerback C.J. Henderson and D.J. Hayden in the slot. Regardless, the veteran wide receiver is ready to go for the Colts’ Week 1 opener.
