Defensive End
No. 78
Jackson State
"The Giants obtained the veteran defensive end from the Baltimore Colts in an off-season trade for running back Joe Orduna and a draft choice. A 15th round draft choice in 1965 by the Colts, Hilton was a starter for the Colts for most of his nine years there in good company first with Ordell Braase and then Bubba Smith. He played in two Super Bowls with the Colts, and in the Baltimore 16-13 victory over Dallas in 1971, he sacked the quarterback twice.
In nine seasons, he's missed only one game- and that one was early last season. Roy led the Colts in quarterback sacks with six in 1972, and had four last year. He has had eight fumble recoveries in his career and also intercepted a pass and returned it 13 yards for a touchdown in 1968.
Hilton won three varsity letters in football at Jackson State where he played both offensive and defensive end. He received a B.S. degree in health and physical education.
Roy was born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi and starred at Parrish High School in his hometown. He's worked for the Colts' speakers bureau in the off-seasons and lists bowling as a favorite hobby."
