2008 Outlook: Quality Backup

Hilliard enters his 12th season in the NFL at age 32 as the Buccaneers' #3 wide receiver. Hilliard had a renaissance season last year in which he caught 62 passes for 722 yards and 1 TD for Tampa Bay. Hilliard is old, but he is a very reliable target for Jeff Garcia (who is no spring chicken either). Hilliard (as well as fellow veteran Joey Galloway) have been the pillars supporting Tampa's passing game the past few seasons, so I wouldn't expect that to change in 2008. Hilliard is worth drafting in the later rounds as a quality backup to your starting receivers because you know he's going to give you at least 50 catches for 700 yards with a couple scores in 2008. Hilliard may not be the flashiest name, but the results will speak for themselves when you get a steal in the later rounds by drafting Ike.
