Jakar Hamilton Madden Career Madden NFL 2015 - Peak 65 OVR

Jakar Hamilton took a winding road through Georgia Military College, Georgia and finally South Carolina State, a safety who went undrafted in 2013 and signed with Dallas as depth. He was a back-of-the-roster defensive back, just the player fighting every week just to stay on the 53.

The Madden card is a single entry, a 65 in Madden NFL 15 with Dallas, the lone rating of a career that amounted to four games and a tackle or two. The number reflects almost no production, a fair read on a player who barely got onto the field, and the reasons his run ended so quickly were as much off the field as on it, a pair of suspensions cutting into what little opportunity he had.

Dallas released him in early 2015, and his NFL time was over. His brothers Mike Goodson and Antonio Hamilton also reached the league, a football family. Hamilton is the deep end of an NFL secondary, the depth safety whose career is measured in a handful of games and undone by discipline. The single 65 card is the honest, brief read on a player who never got a real foothold.
