Strong safety:
1st | 2nd | 3rd |
Chuck Clark | Anthony Levine Sr. DeShon Elliott |
Nigel Warrior |
After getting a three-year contract extension this offseason, Clark has cemented himself as the starter after the release of Tony Jefferson. He earned that job last season, stepping in for the injured Jefferson and performing exceptionally well.
Behind Clark is a pretty tough competition, however. Both Levine and Elliott should be in the mix for serious playing time this season, on special teams and as the extra defensive back in nickel formations. While Levine should have the edge due to his experience, Elliott’s playmaking ability and athleticism will make this one of the better training camp battles.
As one of Baltimore’s UDFAs, Warrior is on the outside looking in and is more likely fighting for a spot on the practice squad.
