Chiefs move cornerback Jamell Fleming to safety

BOCA RATON, Fla.

It appears Jamell Fleming will be the latest Chiefs cornerback to attempt a move to safety.

During a conference call Tuesday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed that Fleming, 26, will be moving to a new position in the defensive backfield.

The Chiefs have had some success in the recent past moving a cornerback to safety, as Ron Parker has flip-flopped between the two positions the last two seasons. Parker has developed into a solid starter with versatility, and the Chiefs apparently feel Fleming, a third-round pick of the Cardinals in 2012, has some of the same traits.
