Does anyone know if any of these safeties project more as a corner or are they all definitely safety position players. It seems the two positions have a lot of players that are similar size so I'm guessing that the differentiating factor would be speed and hip flexibility ect.

It’s more like these are guys who were corners who are being projected to safety. Yaites for example played cb in hs. Thought is he will grow into safety or nickel. Same with stamps. We have some versatility with a few.

Yaites and Daugherty are both Jay Ward type guys.

Stamps is as well.

They're versatile kids who have a nose for the ball, can cover and play a lot more physical than their size might indicate.

I always thought the difference was safeties should have a little more run defense attributes while corners were more pure cover guys - although of course both positions need to do both tasks in the course of a game.

Not sure on the recruits, though.
