On the surface, the Ravens 2023 roster appears stronger than that of 2024, barring any surprising additions. But such an opinion suggests that the career trajectory of the team’s younger players has plateaued – that their contributions during the coming season will mirror those from last year’s campaign. That logic doesn’t add up. Consider Kyle Hamilton.
In 2022, Hamilton at times, particularly early in the season, looked like a fish out of water. But as then defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald learned, Hamilton is a unique talent – a unicorn, who can be deployed in creative ways. With 2022 behind them, the team unleashed Hamilton on the world in 2023 and the result was an All-Pro season.
