The ideal hybrid safety for this package is a hard-hitting defender with corner-like cover skills. He needs to possess the agility and quickness to shadow slot receivers, while also displaying the strength to battle big-bodied tight ends between the hashes. It's not a coincidence that many of the top hybrid safeties played cornerback in college or early in their pro careers before transitioning to safety.
That's why guys like Gaulden, Sutton, and Coleman are ideal nickel guys in our defense. They can cover and aren't a liability in run coverage. Kelly is good in run support but, what be a real issue in pass coverage against slot WRs. Its a really good position for Micah going forward but, he has to learn to cover.
