One of the hardest positions to play in the NFL isn’t in the trenches on offense or defense, though those positions are rather difficult overall. Instead, for me at least, it happens to be the safety position, having to deal with defending all that green grass around you while being the last line of defense.
Fortunately throughout the illustrious history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the safety position has been occupied by a number of great players, from Hall of Famers Donnie Shell and Troy Polamalu, to perennial greats like Carnell Lake, Mike Wagner, Ryan Clark and now Minkah Fitzpatrick today.
