The Ravens got their man, pairing Georgia All-American defensive back Malaki Starks with All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton. Baltimore was able to get a talented defensive back without having to trade up in the draft or part ways with assets.
Starks can officially get integrated into his new role after signing his four-year, $16.5 million contract on Thursday.

Baltimore’s secondary has elite versatility, with Kyle Hamilton, Ar’Darius Washington, and Malaki Starks. Washington should return from his Achilles injury at some point and can play safety and nickel. Marlon Humphrey plays outside and in the slot. Nate Wiggins and Chidobe Awuzie are on the outside.
Starks played three seasons for the Bulldogs, recording 197 total tackles, 17 pass deflections, and six interceptions in his collegiate career. In the 2024 season, he had 77 total tackles, four for loss, and one interception. He was an All-American in 2023.
