Robert Saleh eyes ‘unicorn’ safeties: But do those prospects actually succeed?

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh held an impromptu press conference from Florham Park on Wednesday morning, centered on New York’s coming offseason with the NFL Scouting Combine officially starting in Indianapolis (which Saleh will not attend).

Among the many draft and free agency topics, a particular question about positional value from the New York Post’s Brian Costello stood out.

Costello asked Saleh if he would be okay with taking a safety in the top 10 of the draft, despite safety not being a premium position.

For Saleh, the safety debate has been the hot-button issue of the week.
