Top Ten Best NFL Safeties
The best ever, even though injuries have slowed his career and physicality in the game. Ed reed changed the game, and made the defense into an offensive assault.
Polamalu is amazing but Reed is obviously the better out of the two.
Troy Aumua Polamalu is a former American football strong safety who played his entire twelve-year career for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. Hey! Whoa there! Polamalu may have worse records than Ed Reed but has anyone seen the interception he did against the Chargers?! Ed Reed got traded to the Texans in 2013 and then got traded again to the Jets. Troy Polamalu is obviously the better of the two.
The Steelers have a top 3 defense with him, but it's below average without him, proven by the 2009 season.
# 1. He can catch anything and he is a better playmaker than anyone in the NFL or DA Bomb!
Troy better than Ed Reed

He should be #3
Small but mighty
Running backs watch out for Sanders
John Terrence Lynch, Jr. is a former American football strong safety who played fifteen seasons in the National Football League and is a current color commentator for the Fox network's coverage of the NFL. His hits were the best ever in the NFL. No safety could ever hit as hard as this guy. Once he even hit his brother-in-law.
What is ken Houston?
The only one I would want to try to fit into the shoes of Taylor (RIP)
He was on the right path to become a superstar, but then he was murdered.
His death still haunts me to this day.
He would have been a top 2 safety. May Sean Taylor Rest In Peace. I'm a cowboys fan
He would punish you when you ran the ball.
His hits were out of this world it's sent players across the field
