Worley to safety?

Might as well just make a separate thread for this.

IMO, Worley struggles in coverage on an island at CB. He just doesn't seem to have the speed and hips to stick with WRs and plays well off the line to try to avoid getting beat deep. However, he is a very sound tackler. Possibly the best tackler in our secondary. When you look at his skills and his build (6'1" 205), it screams safety to me. Evidently, there was a decent amount of speculation about this pre-draft. 

Now, to be fair, I've heard absolutely nothing suggesting that the staff is even considering this, but hell, it's the offseason. Gotta talk about something.

A move to a defense that employs more press and trail technique should benefit him and teams looking for range and instincts could try him at free safety.

Standing in at 6-foot-1, 204 pounds, Worley looked more like a safety than cornerback at the Combine, clocking in with 4.64 speed. Worley does have excellent movement ability and ball skills.

Evidently he was considered a safety recruit coming out of high school.

How about Shaq?

How about Worley to free agency?

[Panthera onca]

Ron and Hurney aren't flexible enough thinkers to do something like this.

I'd be cool with a double dip at safety.  Cool as ice cream.  

Same here. It's a position we've ignored draft wise for an extremely long time besides spending a low pick on tre Boston who isn't even on our team right now . 

Historically Panthers francise don't care about safteys in terms of building young talent there

I have been saying this on here for a few weeks.  Nice to have some  support--thought I was going crazy-

I’m not a GM, not even a talent scout but even I know that 4.6 speed doesn’t equal a CB in the NFL

Let Derwin James fall to us (or draft Ronnie Harrison), give Worley a shot at safety, keep Adams and Byrd, sign Amukamara in FA. Cut Coleman.

Badabing badabung

If James makes 24 I would think it would be amazing difficult to pass on him.

Shaq is a LB. He doesn't have the range to play safety.

There's more to it than just 40 time, but yeah... not too many successful 4.6+ CBs in the league.

 

[Cpt slay a ho]

I know this is off topic but josh norman would be a hell of a safety too

[CPF4LIFE]

I could defintely see Norman moving to safety as well to prolong his career.

Not arguing against this statement, but Josh Norman's speed was as bad or worse.  Difference was Wilks and blitzing every down with Zone CBs.

NOTE: Did not read ahead and see the Norman info earlier.  Eerie.
