For Eagles' Aaron Grymes, nothing meaningless about preseason finale

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Before Thursday night, the last time Aaron Grymes played safety was nearly a decade ago at West Seattle High School.

But when you’re fighting like hell to earn an NFL roster spot and your bosses tell you to start taking practice reps at safety, you don’t hesitate.

“They had me practicing there during the week,’’ the 26-year-old cornerback said. “So I figured I was going to get some reps there.

“They want guys who can do more than one thing. The more you can do, the better. Even if it doesn’t work out here, hopefully I showed somebody else that I can play more than one position if they need me to.
