Every NFL rookie faces an adjustment process, and Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton is finding that out the hard way.
Hamilton, the Ravens’ first-round pick in April’s draft, was seen getting totally cooked during Sunday’s practice. In the video, a stiff-looking Hamilton was unable to prevent unheralded wide receiver Bailey Gaither from going past him for an easy touchdown catch.

Hamilton is a first-round pick out of Notre Dame, while Gaither is a formerly undrafted player who has never stuck on an NFL roster. That’s not a great look for Hamilton regardless of the circumstances.
Still, Hamilton was able to brush it off, at least publicly.
yo i am getting fried on this app rn😂

Hamilton obviously knows that will not cut it, and he will surely improve before the season starts. Still, not exactly a great first impression to make here, especially after his poor NFL Combine led him to fall to the Ravens in the first place.
