As a safety, we are often neglected on the defensive side of the ball, with LBs being more prefered for run defense (and sacks, and stats in total), and cornerbacks are prefered for their pass defense, as the spectacular guys who make big plays and lock down opposing wide recievers. I think it's time for a change, as the players on offense that are neglected (like the fullbacks and the offensive line), they don't really fit the strengths and weaknesses of our position, as a more nimble and agile player compared to the larger stronger big guys on the line blocking. Instead, I think it's time for us to have some of the glory. Our archetypes fits those of a recieving back perfectly, as versatile players that have good hands, able to run routes (to cover WRs if need be), and ability to be stronger than CBs, creating mismatches when lined out wide. On top of it, recieving backs have the perfect ability to play as both WR and RB, allowing us to dominate the positions of importance and actually have some fame.
