Patriots FS Devin McCourty named a Top 5 safety in the NFL

The New England Patriots have one of the strongest secondaries in the league and they owe a lot of their success to the ability and versatility of safety Devin McCourty.

McCourty is a former All Pro cornerback, turned All Pro free safety, and last year he was asked to play a little more of a hybrid safety role as Duron Harmon played more of the deep safety position in three-safety sets.

Few players offer as much flexibility as McCourty, who is able to play at a high level wherever he lines up.
