The Jaguars selected Hamilton in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 73rd overall.

Hamilton (6-foot-4, 320) is a gap-holding tackle out of Ohio State, but one with some hints of disruptiveness in his otherwise anchor-oriented profile. Hamilton's 29.5-inch vertical was slightly above average even without adjusting for his uncommonly dense frame, and he posted six sacks last year (10.5 TFL) in 14 games.
