Spring practice is a time for trying things out. With most position groups, we’re looking for which freshmen can make a play and give us a first glimpse of their potential for the future.
But with the safety position in 2017, it’s all about familiar faces learning new roles.
As part of the Cowboys’ apparent transition (at least part-time) to a three-down front, Ramon Richards, the only cornerback on the roster with any starting experience, has been effectively moved to safety. Safety Kenneth Edison-McGruder has moved to linebacker.
Mike Gundy explained the move during this spring press conference on Monday.
