Safety

Name Position Defense % Special Teams %
Malik Hooker FS 788 76.2% 22 5.2%
Khari Willis SS 620 59.96% 58 13.7%
Clayton Geathers SS 527 50.97% 130 30.6%
George Odum FS 282 27.8% 339 79.8%
Rolan Milligan SS 130 12.6% 166 39.1%
Briean Boddy-Calhoun FS 67 6.5% 12 2.8%

It was expected that Willis would eventually take over the starting role next to Hooker at some point in the season. That happened just four games into the campaign, and Willis had a strong rookie season.

Geathers held the starting role but eventually gave way. His time in Indy is likely done. Odum was a strong depth piece and a key staple on special teams and should be ready to hold the same role in 2020.
