The Baltimore Ravens have built their identity on dominant defense, and their secondary remains one of the most feared units in the NFL.
Year after year, they find ways to reload rather than rebuild, ensuring their defensive backs are not just talented but versatile enough to match up against the league’s most explosive offenses.
With defensive coordinator Zachary Orr’s aggressive and flexible schemes, the Ravens demand safeties who can do more than just patrol the deep middle; they will need playmakers who can erase mistakes, shut down passing lanes, and deliver game-changing hits.
In recent years, Baltimore has thrived with hybrid defenders who can play multiple roles, none more evident than Kyle Hamilton who's been All-pro in his tenure with the Ravens.
The former first-round pick has blossomed into one of the most dynamic safeties in the league, a chess piece capable of lining up anywhere from deep coverage to the box to even an occasional pass-rushing role.
But as the Ravens look to keep their secondary elite, they may be eyeing another defensive back who fits that same mold. A recent 2025 NFL mock draft has them targeting a rising star with the size, speed, and ball skills to be the perfect complement to Hamilton: South Carolina’s Nick Emmanwori.
Described as "built like a Greek god" with rare athleticism, Emmanwori has the skill set to thrive in Baltimore’s defense. Like Hamilton, he possesses the versatility to play either safety position, allowing the Ravens to deploy interchangeable pieces to keep offenses guessing.
His instincts and ability to make impact plays in coverage and against the run make him an ideal fit for a defense that prides itself on physicality and playmaking.
If Baltimore does make this move in the draft, they could solidify their secondary with one of the most dynamic safety duos in the league.
