PFF
Moving onto the safety position, Pro Football Focus appears to have had a hard time choosing between Bills safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.
The football analytics outlet has gone position-by-position this offseason and ranked players from across the NFL. At safety, Hyde lands at No. 14. Considering these two are a top-notch duo, Poyer has to be close by and he is.
Right after Hyde comes Poyer at No. 15.
First, here’s PFF’s breakdown on Hyde, which first makes note of how good these two are as a pair. Combining safety duos to appear on the entire list, the Bills see their two starters appear first on PFF’s 32-player ranking before anyone else. The Broncos’ Justin Simmons ranked as the league’s best safety in the top spot, but his partner, Kareem Jackson, doesn’t appear until No. 17.
