Age and the safety position.

Last year, I looked at defensive positions and injuries. I was surprised to see that safety (along with inside linebacker) ranked as the worst position in terms of longevity of young star players. 26% of the 50 best young safeties missed at least one-third or more of games played from ages 26-29 (Sanders was not included in that study, since he hadn’t turned 29 when I did it). Over half of the best safeties through age 25 were out of the game by age 30, Sanders’ age next year.

Newman can't stay healthy as a C/B and OJ has had his fair share of injuries. Would love to see the Cowboys get Rahim Moore in the draft.

Safeties have a high percentage of hits coming up at good speed on defense and most safeties still play STs too. Body can only take so many of those.
