Eagles Insights: Is Eric Rowe a Safety?

Eric Rowe has been taking some snaps at safety this week.

Bill Davis said those snaps didn’t mean that the rookie was beginning to transfer from cornerback to safety, where he played the majority of his college career. The Eagles defensive coordinator said that he wants all his defensive backs to know how to play multiple spots in the secondary.

“It’s nothing new. All the guys have taken reps at all the spots,” Davis said on Thursday. “Even through all of training camp [safety] Walt Thurmond was taking reps outside at corner. We’ve had a real good offseason with cross training our secondary.
