Ravens Rookie Grades

In this story:
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Safety Kyle Hamilton was the highest-graded player among the Ravens rookies, according to Pro Football Focus.
"A lot of guys had to grow up quick," Hamilton said. "Like Tyler [Linderbaum] did an amazing job this year holding down one of the hardest positions on the field [on] both sides of the ball. Mark [Andrews] was dealing with some injuries early in the season and ‘Zay’ [Isaiah Likely] stepped up like he’s been a season vet, and he’s one of the more athletic tight ends I’ve seen all year. He and Mark and everybody else in that room challenge us on a daily basis, where when we get into the game, and we’re not really surprised by anything.
"And a lot of other guys – ‘Pepe’ [Damarion Williams] Jalyn [Armour-Davis] – guys I’m not mentioning … Everybody grew up a little bit, so I think that’s set us up for a good second year.”
The @Ravens earned the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft and will have an opportunity to grab a playmaking cornerback or wide receiver with that selection.
