2017 NFL Draft- Free Safeties
The free safety position is much different than the strong safety position. With strong safety, you really need a particular style of player who is rugged and rough. Free safety the player normally needs to be great at coverage and understanding the angles to get to the ball. It helps if he’s taller and leaner and is a great jumper as well. He can’t be afraid to make a big hit, but also must time his hit the right way to jar the ball loose and not get a penalty. He is the guy that makes the wide receivers scared to go over the middle. Here are my five best FS prospects.
