Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton began turning heads last season, and his acclaim is well deserved. Could Hamilton possibly be the best safety in the entire NFL?

The Ravens tallied an NFL record 60 sacks last season, with Hamilton contributing three to that total. It’s relatively easy to pass-defend when the opposing quarterback can’t even get a pass attempt off.
Nevertheless, Hamilton still recorded four interceptions and 13 pass deflections, alongside 63 solo tackles, in 15 games played.

The NFL’s best tight ends at the strong safety position often challenge Hamilton. This scenario was when he matched up with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce in the AFC Championship. Though Kelce got the better of Hamilton in the game, things may be different in the future.
At just 23, Hamilton has yet to reach his pinnacle, and with consecutive seasons of NFL-level strength and conditioning, he is likely to bulk up.
With enough speed to keep up with anyone and sure tackling ability, Hamilton is undoubtedly among the best safeties in the NFL.
Jalen Guyton runs a 4.39, and Kyle Hamilton, who supposedly runs 4.59 at 220 pounds, easily runs with him in coverage.
