On the other end you have elite speed safeties like Earl Thomas and Ron Parker who can easily ball hawk and chase guys down but can't be a force in the box against the run.
That's why Berry is so good. He's the best all around safety in the NFL. He is talented at everything.
Why do you think Mauga only played 40% of the snaps? Bc Berry was basically the LB on most of those third downs bc he can stuff the run and cover the pass.
Yeah he gets beat by elite TE's like Gronk and Gates, but come the **** on. As I said before, every safety struggles against those guys. Watch the SB where Gronk was making Thomas and Chancellor his bitches all night.

Gronk is the only TE I can really recall this season who got the best of Berry all game.
And when he's healthy, I have yet to really see a safety or cornerback who can stop him.
