He's having an incredible year, and was having a stellar rookie season before an injury that took him awhile to come back from.

I think he's been the best safety this year, but is one year enough to declare him the best safety overall in the game? Is he top 5?

Safety seems to be pretty weak in the NFL right now, without many bonafide stars. I think Honey Badger could be the next star.

He's becoming an absolute superstar. I'd love for someone to name 5 safeties they'd rather have going forward. It's amazing the amount of plays he can make.

IIRC he's played more nickel/slot than safety this year.

Still he's playing like a top flight DB this year. I think he's definitely in the top 10 convo for all DBs.

He's not even the best safety on the team. Rashad Johnson in the house!


Ok just kidding. TM7 is the shite.

I didn't realize he was playing safety but sounds like they are using him all over. That's a great plan. He is not a pure corner and not a pure safety. He is a freak that can make plays though.

He doesn't really play safety so no he's not the best safety in the league
