Notre Dame football: 4 Reasons Kyle Hamilton will win the Bednarik Award

Hamilton is the Best Safety in the Country

Do you remember week 1 of the 2019 season? Kyle Hamilton does, because that was the first time he ever blitzed in a game. In other words, he’s always had insane potential, but it’s often been a raw talent that he’s existed on.

Now, with years of development, Hamilton is the undisputed best safety in the country.

He can do anything on the field. Crashing down on the run, tackling crossing receivers, cover 2, cover 1, man coverage on the outside or in the slot. It doesn’t matter, and he’s so fast that just by being there, Hamilton erases huge chunks of the field. In a world of the modern RPO, he can stop it single handedly.
