    I'm not saying he *can't* play safety, I'm saying that two different coaching staffs have seen him as more of an NFL CB than a safety so far and I think he has a better chance of playing as a CB than as a safety, this year, at least.
    i dont think these staffs "see him as more of a CB." Most times when players have skill sets that could translate to CB or Safety the guy is tried out at CB first. There are two reasons for this: one, CBs are much harder to come by, and much more valuable to NFL franchises, than Safeties. Two, once the staff asks the player what position he wants to play the player will normally want to be a CB rather than a Safety because those players earn much larger contracts.

    In essence, safety is almost always the fallback option for all these tweeners. Just ask Malcolm Jenkins.
