Jamal Adams clings to 10th, Quandre Diggs snubbed as ESPN names Top 10 safeties in the NFL
“The NFL’s top safety two years ago now barely hangs on to the No. 10 spot. Many voters still consider Adams more of a true linebacker, which doesn’t help his case. His sack numbers dipped from 9.5 in 2020 to zero in 2021. And his feel for pass coverage has been hotly debated. Still, if you remove perceptions and positions, there’s a simple notion that no one really argues: Adams is a really good football player. “He’s still a game-wrecker,” an NFL personnel director said.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that many of us who have actually been watching the Seahawks over the last couple seasons might agree with the assertion that Adams has actually been the lesser of the team’s talented duo, with Quandre Diggs being the speedy and fearsome force who has collected 13 interceptions since joining the Hawks during the 2019 season.
since the start of the 2019 season. As confident as he is talented, Diggs has his own feelings on the matter.To be totally fair, Quandre did get an “honorable mention,” with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler saying: “Diggs is deserving of a top-10 spot after back-to-back seasons of five interceptions to match his gritty style of play. He simply didn’t garner enough high votes. “He’s a thumper who will hit your a—, and he has the ball production,” an NFL personnel evaluator said. When evaluators discuss the Seahawks’ safety tandem of Diggs and Adams, they put it this way: Adams might be the better player, but Diggs is a better safety.
On paper, the Seattle Seahawks have an impressively formidable duo at Safety. While the on-field results have been difficult to process over the last couple seasons, we can still feel pretty happy to get the chance to watch a couple guys as talented as Adams and Diggs manning the back-end of the defensive backfield .
