I’ve always had a soft spot for safeties. Don’t ask me to explain why because I can’t quite put my finger on it. Michael Boulware is one of my favorite Seattle Seahawks ever. I loved the combo of Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas.
And it’s not just Seahawks safeties. Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, Steve Atwater, Brian Dawkins, I could go on and on. Maybe it’s their skill set and ability to make an impact in multiple facets of the game. Safeties can come flying in from the back end and lay the wood. They can also scream across the field and pick off a pass.
