HC Eli Drinkwitz inherits one of the nation’s top complimentary safety tandems. Joshuah Bledsoe has the movement & cover skills to provide nickel flex at next level. Tyree Gillespie is a big, fluid guy that can play deep and downhill. #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE

This guy is much more confident about them than I am. Feel like MU fans have been talking about the athleticism of every safety we have had since Willy MO and Pig Brown, and how they were going to develop into a big playmaking safety this season.

I hope I'm wrong about our present pair. It would be awesome to have a great safety or two on the D again.

Wasn't there articles last year praising our returning dbs and even a prediction that we had a future first rounder?

We have a good set of safeties for sure. Bledsoe is a solid player with really good size. Gillespie May be the best athlete on the team. Fast as hell and will absolutely lay the wood on guys. I would not be at all surprised if he’s drafted fairly highly.

Gillespie is PFF’s highest grades returning safety in the SEC and has been voted second team all SEC preseason.

Then we have guys like Manuel and Williams backing them up. It’s definitely one of our better position groups.
