The\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0brought back a familiar face this offseason, hiring former defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano to be the team’s new senior secondary coach after five years out of the league.<\/p>\n

Though the 64-year-old has been away from the NFL for a few years, he’s showing no lack of excitement, and\u00a0Ravens\u00a0star safety Kyle Hamilton seems to have something to do with this.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with the Ravens team website, Pagano delivered some big-time praise to Hamilton, calling his ability “unbelievable.”<\/p>\n

“He’s an avatar, man. He’s a freak,” Pagano said. “He’s unbelievable, his length, his speed, his size, his coverage for a safety, like he can cover slot receivers. It doesn’t matter who it is. Like there’s no panic when you watch him out there. It doesn’t matter if they got him at nickel, big nickel, safety, dime, from a mental standpoint, he knows all that. He’s a great communicator.”<\/p>\n
