The Baltimore Ravens selected safety Kyle Hamilton with the 14th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he has already made quite the name for himself in just three seasons in the league.

In a recent article by PFF's Jonathon Macri, he ranks who he believes are the top 25 players under the age of 25 going into the season. At No. 3, he has Hamilton ranked as the top defensive player on his list.

"Hamilton has quickly established himself as one of the league’s top safeties, finishing in the top three at his position in at least one of PFF overall grade," Macri writes. "Hamilton’s versatility makes him one of the most valuable safeties in the league, and he even brings pass-rush upside, having generated 36 pressures and seven sacks in his NFL career."

The Ravens allowed the tenth fewest yards in the league this past season, and Hamilton was a very big part of that.

He finished 2024 with a very impressive 107 total tackles, which placed him in the top 45 in the league. He was also able to show his ball-hawks skills with nine pass deflections and an interception.

All of this led him to be named to one of the All-Pro teams for the second time in just his third season in the league.

The Ravens came up short in the playoffs to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round this past season. So Hamilton and the rest of the defense will be looking to turn that around and make it to the team's first Super Bowl since 2013.
