One of the reasons why Mike Macdonald became the Seahawks head coach was his work with safety Kyle Hamilton during his time as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator and Hamilton was likely on his mind early in the second round of this year’s draft.
The Seahawks traded the 52nd and 82nd overall picks to the Titans for the 35th overall selection and then took safety Nick Emmanwori. Hamilton was a frequent comp for Emmanwori during the pre-draft process and Emmanwori was asked if the Seahawks were one of the teams that mentioned the Ravens star.
“Yes. They said me and him are very similar,” Emmanwori said, via Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune.
