There is always alot of talk regarding draft prospects and what safety role they'll fill. Free safties are known as the centerfielder, ball hawkers who make plays in the passing game down field. Looking at last years draft and production over the 2009 season, Jairus Byrd appears to be the new model. Pat Tillman, Rodney Harrison and Roy Williams are players you should think of as a strong safety. The tough, in the box, covering a tight end, tackling machines. In my eyes only Eric Berry fills the role of complete safety at the next level. He does all the above at such a high level and that is why he'll be a top pick. These players are in no particular order.
Free Safties-some listed are slower corners who'd project to free safety in the pros.
