2016 NFL Draft Safety Top Tens

Safety is a position that gives me some trouble every year. I never completely know the difference in FS & SS, but I think I’ve boiled it down nicely with a combo of stats and athleticism. FS is deeper, SS is better at the top. SS had a plethora of injuries up top, the FS have evolved for me. This is my last positional write-up and I don’t have much more to add.
