SI: Interesting read on Kenny Hamlin
• Despite the presence of Pro Bowl safety Ken Hamlin on the open market, several teams rank Gibril Wilson as the top safety prospect available in free agency. Wilson, who is coming off his best season as a pro (four interceptions), possesses the range, ball skills and awareness that teams covet from a deep-middle player.
Although Hamlin finished with five interceptions, teams voiced concerns about his awareness and discipline in coverage. According to one AFC scout, "Hamlin had an outstanding year, but Wilson is a more dependable and steady player in the back end." An NFC scout added, "Wilson was the glue that kept the Giants' secondary together when the injury bug bit them."
