It will be difficult for the Patriots to stop wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who racked up 224 yards and two touchdowns on 13 catches in Round 1 against the Chiefs. New England cornerback Aqib Talib will likely lock onto the left side of the field with cornerback Kyle Arrington trailing Hilton. Talib does not match up well with Hilton’s shiftiness, though the All Pro’s change of direction has improved in recent weeks as his hip has healed.
Arrington has the best speed of the New England cornerbacks. He matched up against wide receiver Mike Wallace both times the Patriots played the Miami Dolphins. Hilton is not overly physical, so Arrington could probably jam the speedy second-year wideout when necessary. Arrington will need safety Devin McCourty‘s help over the top.
