"Being in the league for so long, you see some of these drafted dudes coming in so cocky," Haden said. "You get these undrafted dudes, they're a lot more humble. They're just plain hungry and ready to listen. My thing is I'm always here to give people information. I really let my game speak for itself. But when I see dudes like Mike and these younger guys coming into the league, I can tell all they want is just some advice and be the best they can be. When you see dudes like him, especially an undrafted guy working his tail off and is just willing to grind it and love the game, it's easy for me to take guys like that under my wing."
Asked the difference between a Bengals-Browns game and a Bengals-Steelers game, Haden has a hard time leading you through that one.
"There is a lot of hatred in all of those games," Haden said. "Some people won't like the other one a little bit more, but it's just a very, very physical battle. You know what you're going to get when you see each other over time. Just generally, nobody in the AFC (North) likes each other."
But he knows what Hilton is bringing to the current chapter of the rivalry. Down through the years it's been defined by the Carson Palmer torn ACL (2005), the Bengals defense (2009's War of 18-12), Jeremy Hill's fumble (2015) and Ben Roethlisberger's winning TD pass with 10 seconds left against zero blitz (2018). Now Bengals strong safety Vonn Bell's Monday Night hit on JuJu Smith-Schuster (2020) takes us through the next few games.
"(Hilton) is the kind of guy you want in your locker room. He's a work-first guy," Haden said. "There's not too much rah-rah with Mike. He's not a big guy. But the way he blitzes and the way he is in the run game, that doesn't go unnoticed. That's why everyone on the team has so much respect for him. He's all about action. That's why he gets so much respect in the locker room."
Make no mistake. Hilton loves what he got from Haden and the other Steelers.
