TY Hilton has said that he aims to show signs of improvement during his second season in the NFL.

The wide receiver made an immediate impact in his rookie year with the Indianapolis Colts, scoring seven touchdowns for 861 yards in 2012.

The 23-year-old told the Colts' website: "I'm very eager to [work]. It's important to get better. To stay the same would be ridiculous. I'm always looking for ways in my game to get better.

"I have to work on my drops. I had way too many of them last year. That's not like me. Every day, I'm catching a lot of balls. I catch them before and after practice. I'm making sure I get my catches. Throughout the week, I make sure I have no drops.

"It's going well for me. I only had one drop in the last month. Right now, it's looking real good. As long as I work on catching the ball, looking it into my hands and work on the fundamentals, I'll be good."

Hilton was a third-round pick in the 2012 Draft.
