During the NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens used its first-round pick on Georgia safety Malaki Starks, with the intention for pairing him up with former Notre Dame superstar Kyle Hamilton to make an elite duo.

While the rookie hasn’t been with the team long, he already knows that he’s going to be playing alongside one of the best in the NFL. When asked about his new teammate, he gave a glowing review of Hamilton. “There’s levels, and Kyle is on that top level… He’s so smart,” said Starks to the media on Friday.

We are seeing it once again, that Hamilton isn’t just a great football player, but a leader inside the locker room. His professional career is off to an amazing start, as he’s made the Pro Bowl twice, was a First-team All-Pro in 2023, and a Second-team All-Pro in 2024.

The duo could be roaming the Raven’s secondary for years to come, and it could turn out to be one of the best set of safeties in the NFL.
