Hamilton had a breakout second NFL season in 2023, as his 86.4 overall grade from PFF ranked sixth among safeties. One of the most versatile players in the league, Hamilton logged 14 quarterback pressures to rank fourth among safeties.
Hamilton’s two-year 89.6 overall grade ranks third among all safeties.
Hamilton is the top young safety in the NFL and will likely become the first $100 million player at safety next offseason.
