The Baltimore Ravens have built their identity on dominant defense, and their secondary remains one of the most feared units in the NFL.
Year after year, they find ways to reload rather than rebuild, ensuring their defensive backs are not just talented but versatile enough to match up against the league’s most explosive offenses.
With defensive coordinator Zachary Orr’s aggressive and flexible schemes, the Ravens demand safeties who can do more than just patrol the deep middle; they will need playmakers who can erase mistakes, shut down passing lanes, and deliver game-changing hits.
In recent years, Baltimore has thrived with hybrid defenders who can play multiple roles, none more evident than Kyle Hamilton who’s been All-pro in his tenure with the Ravens.
The former first-round pick has blossomed into one of the most dynamic safeties in the league, a chess piece capable of lining up anywhere from deep coverage to the box to even an occasional pass-rushing role.
