Safeties

  • Malcolm Jenkins
  • Rodney McLeod
  • Andrew Sendejo
  • Jonathan Cyprien
  • Rudy Ford

Malcolm Jenkins is one of the best leaders in the NFL while simultaneously being a very consistent safety on the backend of the defense. McLeod, Sendejo, and Cyprien are all veterans that bring more toughness and physicalness to the group while Ford is very good in coverage. Ford and Sendejo are both likely to be key contributors on Special Teams as well.

Player to watch: Trae Elston

Special Teams

  • Jake Elliott
  • Cameron Johnston
  • Rick Lovato

Elliott and Johnston have been impressive after taking over the kicking and punting duties a few years ago. Lovato has been very solid at long snapper over the past few years as well.
