Today I wanted to look at the safeties, and the graph below uses their 2021 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton tops the ranks and is currently #2 on PFF’s board. He has great size and was versatile positionally the last three seasons with time in slot, box, and primarily deep alignments. He had a 75+ overall grade, 80+ coverage grade, and high 60 run defense grade, an above average 10.7% forced incompletion rate, with a great 6.5% missed tackle rate and a 42.
