Byron Jones should face an interesting 2016 season as he makes the transition to the free safety position.
The safety position may just be one of the most important positions on the defensive side of the football. Some of the best football players of all time come from the position. Think Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, and Darren Woodson. These are just three players that have transformed defenses to elite caliber. Particularly with Rod Marinelli's defensive formation, the free safety position has so much importance.
It's more than just the range and field vision, it's about a combination of sure-tackling, reliability, and toughness in the box.
