Newsstand: Former Notre Dame S Kyle Hamilton makes big play in Baltimore Ravens debut
Well, it didn’t take long for Kyle Hamilton to cause some chaos at the next level. That’s not particularly surprising.
On Thursday, the NFL formally opened its preseason competition with a pair of games, including a contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans at M&T Bank Stadium. Hamilton, a former Notre Dame safety who was taken No. 14 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Ravens, recovered a fumble and notched a tackle in his debut.
Where Hamilton falls on the depth chart once the season begins remains undetermined, but he will surely get playing time as a rookie.
Baltimore ultimately topped Tennessee 23-10.
A couple of other former Irish stars were in action on Thursday as well. After signing with the New England Patriots on Aug. 2, Jalen Elliott had a productive night against the New York Giants. The safety posted eight tackles, a tackle for loss, and was flying around the secondary throughout the broadcast. He led New England in total stops.

On the other sideline, fourth-year defensive back Julian Love made one tackle for New York. The presumptive starter understandably didn’t play much. The Giants topped the Patriots 23-21 on a 24-yard field goal by veteran Graham Gano as time expired.
