6. Will Kyle Hamilton play any special roles in the Baltimore Ravens defense?

One of the big notes with Kyle Hamilton when he was drafted was his versatility. He drew Derwin James comparisons because he could be used all over the football field. We saw a lot of that during his rookie season. Hamilton played dime backer and then moved even further inside to the slot.

He was not even expected to be a slot player, but his smarts, tackling, and size did well in that tight space. This year he is expected to stick to one role, although we know that he can differ from expectations quickly.

So, the question is, where does Hamilton line up in this game? Is he only in the box, do we see some slot? Does he play any free safety, or with Marcus Williams back there, do they have defined roles? We have never seen Williams and Hamilton work off of each other as starters. Both are big talents, so it will be fun to see how the ebbs and flows go.
