NFL Combine: Kyle Hamilton Slides Down After “Slow” 40 Performance

Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton has seen his name gather a lot of hype over the last few months, primarily as the best safety prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft.

His recent 40-yard dash performance at the combine took a little luster off that hype train, unfortunately.

Possibly the best safety in this class, @kyledhamilton_ lays down a 4.59u on his first attempt.

Viewing this through the eyes of a former track star, what jumps out here is an overall body language/posture that doesn’t speak to all out effort.
