The NFL's safety position has evolved with players like Kyle Hamilton, who combines cornerback skills with a linebacker physique. The Washington Commanders lost Jeremy Chinn to free agency and plan to replace him with Will Harris, who lacks Hamilton's athleticism. Currently, the team has three players, including Dominque Hampton, Kain Medrano, and Tyler Owens, with the requisite physical attributes. However, none have proven themselves at the NFL level. Owens, despite his physical talent, has not matched his production with impactful plays.
Tyler Owens will be a player to watch closely at Commanders training camp. Feldman's annual list identifies prospects with rare physical gifts, and at 6-foot-2 and 216 pounds, Owens has been timed at 4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Washington currently has three players with the physical attributes to play the style of game that Hamilton does in Baltimore, but none have proven themselves at the NFL level.
While Will Harris has been a steady performer, he lacks the athletic gifts of a player like Kyle Hamilton, who possesses cornerback skills in a linebacker’s physique.
Jeremy Chinn was closer to an old-school linebacker with agility to cover some tight ends, but coverage was never his strong suit.
