What Jackson brings to Baltimore
Baltimore used three-safety looks often last year to take advantage of Hamilton’s versatility. The All-Pro was employed in matchup situations, often against top tight ends, while also playing frequently in the slot. The addition of a No. 3 safety, one who the defensive staff trusts and who can play the deep part of the field, will allow first-year defensive coordinator Zach Orr to continue to move Hamilton around.
Jackson may not be playing at the same level that he was early in his career with the Bears. However, the Ravens, who have a host of versatile defensive backs, won’t need to rely on him as heavily.
