Being a safety isn't all about speed. In most cases they are safeties because they aren't fast enough to play CB. It's why guys like Rod Woodson, Charles Woodson, Ronnie Lott and countless other move to safety when they start slowing down.
Playing safety is about sticking to your assignment and reading plays. Like I said, Flowers excels in zone coverage and tackling. He is very smart and I think he would be in the right spot more often than not. I think he could be good at it.
You really have it backwards pest.
