The two returning starters at safety in Nolan Turner and Lannden Zanders are back, but there needs to be development at the position this offseason.

Too many times last season we saw the safeties get eat up- really everyone behind Turner had major problems, and he wasn’t immune either- and this is where Joseph Charleston steps in.

Charleston has the athleticism and he will come out playing with more confidence than ever this spring as he enters his third season in the system. Look for Charleston to be a breakout player and to help solidify the backend of that secondary.
