During his first four seasons, the Ravens deployed Kyle Hamilton wherever they needed help. He was “The Fixer.”
New Head Coach Jesse Minter has the task of turning around a Ravens defense that slid in the rankings the past two seasons, and he knows how he uses Hamilton will be a big piece of the puzzle.
“Kyle is a weapon,” Minter said at his introductory press conference Thursday. “He is a positionless defensive player that I would classify as a weapon on defense.”
Hamilton has mostly bounced between playing slot cornerback, linebacker, and free/strong safety during his first four seasons with the Ravens. He began last season playing predominantly free safety before moving closer to the line of scrimmage in Week 6.
Going forward, Minter mostly plans on using Hamilton closer to the action.
“As much as you can do to get a guy like Kyle near the point of attack, I think, is what you try to do as a designer [or] play-caller,” Minter said.
