The Baltimore Ravens have a plethora of brilliant players on their defense. It’s one of the many reasons why their defensive unit was so good last season and ended a historic group in league history.
When asked about safety Kyle Hamilton, Baltimore pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt went on about his football I.Q., mentioning multiple critical things about the third-year player. He said that he knows the ins and outs of the team’s defensive system because it is his third year in it, and despite that, there are still things that he can become even better at with time and learning.
“Well, I mean this is his third year in the system, [his] third year knowing it. So, he knows the ins and outs of the entire system. Just being … Put it this way – he’s a junior, [either] in high school [or] in college – he knows what’s going on, he knows how to operate, and his I.Q. was already a high I.Q. football player. But now, knowing everything that’s going on within the defense [since it’s] his third year going through it, it’s not much that he doesn’t know. [He still needs to] continue to be coached in all those things, but as far as knowing what to do and how to do it and unlocking things back there, he’s really good. He knows it.”
Hamilton is one of the bright young stars in the NFL and has earned that title through hard work, determination, and effort. He should continue to grow as time goes on, and his understanding of the game and smarts in general are some of the reasons why he’s able to ascend even further.
