Honestly not that impressive a list. Besides Berry, a lot of good to very good safeties. Not many great ones.

This was my first impression as well, but then I realized I was looking at it from how they had continued their careers into the NFL. I was thinking there were no Ed Reeds or Sean Taylors, but then I looked at them from strictly as college players and all these guys were very good.

Jason Allen was an absolute terror in his day, and Craig Steltz was all over the field for LSU.

Nelson was a great college player and from this list, only Berry tops him.

Not sure what happened to him in Jacksonville. He had a phenomenal rookie season and seemed to turn into a pussy in following seasons.

That sums up the Safety position across the board, IMO. Even at the NFL level. There a few great ones, but all others are just bad CBs playing centerfield
