Where Things Stand: Safeties

POSITION REVIEW: In just two seasons with the team, Kurt Coleman has taken command of the defensive backs room. Although the unit faced growing pains, he helped a secondary that featured two rookie starting cornerbacks and a free safety with only six previous NFL starts show signs of improvement. He set a good example for his understudies, leading the team with four interceptions while notching 90 tackles. Tre Boston earned valuable playing time at free safety, starting 10 games and setting career highs in almost every statistic. He recorded just as many sacks as interceptions (two) and also deflected six passes.
