Hamilton is really special!
Rarely see this type of security guard in the NFL?
From the beginning of the series of scouting reports, there were fans who asked Xiaobian to talk about the first security guard of this year, Kyle Hamilton. Indeed, there have been several drafts that have not seen such a special security guard. Even Xiaobian feels that if his physical condition or technical characteristics are an external successor, it should also become a big killer. Today, we're going to talk about Kyle Hamilton.

summary
Hamilton's stature is very rare for a security guard. In terms of stature, he is most similar to former Seahawk star security guard Kam Chansler, but the way the two play is very different. Hamilton's best job of reading the quarterback's eyes, then relying on his big long legs to quickly reach the pass landing point, and finally using his excellent ball sense to complete the interception. At the same time, Hamilton is also very changeable, in addition to the security guard, he can also be a strong side guard and slot corner guard. So, the team that gets him can add a lot of variety to the defensive group.
Hamilton's biggest question is how fast is he arriving? Judging by his 40-yard score of 4.59 seconds on the combined physical test and the not-so-good turnback run, his athleticism does not seem to be outstanding. But, in terms of his college performance, he doesn't look slow either, and athleticism is even one of his strengths.
Because of the doubts about Hamilton's speed, his draft pick is also controversial. There are a few mock drafts that make him the highest in the top of the list, but there are also many rumors that he may fall out of the top ten. In addition, there are rumors that the views of various teams on Hamilton are far less than the praise of him in the media. We've seen Jamal Adams picked with the 6th pick, and we've seen Delvin James slip all the way down to the 17th pick before being selected. Therefore, Hamilton's final pick may also become the biggest variable in this draft.
