First-team All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton has received a lot of praise for the incredible turnaround of the Ravens’ pass defense since transitioning to a traditional deep safety role. However, he isn’t the only defensive back excelling in a new spot over the last month.
Since replacing safety Marcus Williams in the starting lineup in Week 11, fourth-year pro Ar’Darius Washington has played a major role in stabilizing a pass defense that ranked dead-last in the league through the first 10 weeks of the season. The undersized 2021 UDFA has made the most of his first chance at extended playing time after struggling with injuries in his first three seasons.
