Ravens GM praises Kyle Hamilton’s “Unicorn” abilities
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta commented about the franchise’s faith in Kyle Hamilton in a press conference on Wednesday. He said Hamilton is versatile enough to be referred to as a “unicorn.”
“One of the things you love about Kyle is he’s kind of a unicorn,” DeCosta said. “He can do many different things. He does them all very well.”
Hamilton was drafted with the No. 14 pick in 2022 and quickly positioned himself as one of the elite defensive players in the NFL. He was the youngest defensive starter selected to the Pro Bowl in his second season and was recognized as a first-team All-Pro in 2023.
“I think the deal really does speak to how we feel about Kyle … The highest-paid safety in the NFL … that’s a responsibility that we don’t take lightly,” DeCosta said.
“I think Kyle has proven that he’s going to carry that very well, and we expect him to continue to be an impact player on our defense for years to come.”
Hamilton’s “do-it-all” playing style reflects the fact that he was the only defensive back in the league who had at least 100 tackles, an interception, two sacks and two forced fumbles in a single season.
