Default Top 5 Safeties in the NFL
here is the link: Reed edges out Polamalu as league's best safety

They both have Ed Reed as the best safety in the NFL. This is because of his ability to not only create turnovers but also return them for touchdowns. Discuss whether you agree or disagree.

I can't argue with anyone who puts reed ahead of troy, but i think troy and wilson are more complete players. If i had to pick one for my team i would take polamalu over reed, but reed sure does get a lot of turn overs.

Hell yeah. The people saying he should be switched to LB drive me nuts. He'd be a good LB, but he's a unique safety, and he can be one of the elite at that position. Obviously I'd rather have the proven commodities right now, but the team that gets him will be very lucky. And in college, Mays is probably the surest defensive player around right now.

Eric Berry should be a good one too. Two premium safeties coming out next year.

I agree 100%, Mays is going to be a top 3 safety in the NFL, maybe higher.

I was at the Rose bowl when he steam rolled the Penn State receive and his OWN teammate. Just a massive hit and I was surprised he came back this year. He is going to be amazing to watch and I can't wait.

I would have gone Wilson. He has been awesome despite por players around him historically.

I can accept Reed getting the nod because of the INTS and returning them but Polomalu is just a beast. I would ratehr have Polomalu on my team over Ed Reed. I think they should be 1.a and 1.b and it wouldn't matter to me who was which.
