Allen Park — Changing positions is nothing new for Detroit Lions defensive back Bobby Price, but the transition he's trying to make now, from safety to cornerback, is the most difficult yet.
A high school quarterback, Price was recruited to run track and play wide receiver at Norfolk State, but by the time he arrived at the school, staffing changes altered those plans. Instead, he was asked to try safety.
Price quickly found parallels between the quarterback and safety positions, specifically having to make the play calls and get his teammates aligned. The change ended up suiting him so well he started four games as a true freshman and would hold that job the next three seasons.
