My answer is Sean Taylor easily. I am from the younger generation so didn't get to see Ronnie Lott.

I remember a few games where he played for the 49ers but that was the late 80's, then he went to the Raiders.

I'd say Ed Reed.

Rod Woodson made a nice transition to safety like Ronnie Lott.

Either Ed Reed or a younger Troy Polamalu.

Ken Houston. Sean Taylor is my favorite safety of all time though.

I've seen Lott play, and Atwater, and Reed, and Taylor


Taylor is at the bottom of that list, and Reed is the best I've seen

Seriously though I'd say Rodney Harrison. Troy a close second

Ronnie Lott.

Darren Woodson and Ed Reed are tied for second.

Fierce hitter. Not a good cover guy or centerfielder in the middle. Best overall probably Polamaula.

Belichick thinks it's Ed Reed, and I agree with him.

Ed Reeds the best safety to play in recent memory.

Troy Polamalu is the best play making safety ive seen. But Ed Reed is the best overall IMO.

Same here. The guy was intense.


He and Ed Reed are my two favorite safeties ever.
