Hamilton, 29, has been with the Lions for the past two seasons as the assistant linebackers coach, earning a reputation as a rising star in coaching. His promotion follows a strong track record of developing the team’s linebackers, with players such as Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell showing significant improvement.

This move comes as part of the Lions’ commitment to continuity within their coaching staff. Hamilton’s promotion reflects the team’s belief in his ability to further elevate the linebacker group as they look to build on their success from the 2024 season.
