49ers S Eric Reid said he’s excited to become a full-time strong safety in new coordinator Robert Saleh’s defense.
“I feel like I was made for this position with my body type being a bigger safety, so I’m excited about this year,” Reid said, via Nick Wagoner of ESPN. “[Hitting is] my favorite part of the game. I used to get mad at myself if I didn’t have at least one big shot, so to have that type of mentality for everybody, I tell the guys all the time I don’t do a lot of talking; I let my pads do the talking.
