Kyle Hamilton

The biggest name coming out of the Notre Dame football program in this draft season is Kyle Hamilton, widely regarded as the best defensive back in this draft class. Hamilton has everything you look for in an All-Pro safety, and he can solidify his spot as an early first-round pick with a solid week in Indy.

In fact, some feel that Hamilton could go as high as No. 2 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, as he has a rare blend of size, speed, and athleticism that you just do not see come around that often. Safety has become a premier position in the NFL, as it is more of a pass-happy league now, and Hamilton may be the most NFL-ready player in this draft class.

The goal for Hamilton this week is to nail the interviews and show the kind of athleticism during the on-field workouts that he has put on tape during his career in South Bend. With a strong week, expect the Hamilton top-3 buzz to get a lot louder heading into April.
