Safeties are like the RB of the defense. They're often guys that are built like corners but play with the violence and physicality of a LB.
Their bodies are some of the first to tear down on a defense because they're small, relentless hitters. Almost all of your best safeties have short careers. The best ones throw their bodies around with complete disregard.
Think Eric Berry. Derwin James. Bob Sanders.
Even Tyrann has had his share of injuries.
