Redskins.com's Jake Kring-Schreifels provides five takeaways from Su'a Cravens's press conference at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Va.
1. The transition to safety has been smooth.
Despite playing inside linebacker during his rookie season, Cravens said Sunday that he doesn’t feel like he ever left playing the safety position.
“It feels like I’ve played sort of a version of the position throughout my college career and a little bit last year,” he said. “But it definitely feels good to be a solid, set position.”
Safety, he said, allows him to play to his strengths, namely operating in the open field and make instinctual decisions when the ball goes in the air, letting him become the playmaker the Redskins saw glimpses of last year and throughout his college career.
