Yes. And yep 3-4 defenses usually call that position buck or jack and etc. But diaz been calling it viper. Don't know why people making it a big deal now.Wait, is "viper" just the weak side DE? Usually it's odd front defenses that use the hybrid DE/OLB with a silly name.
Playing safety not gone help him play DE.Greg for sure with his ability to play safety in HS

Dude it's just a fancy name. You have seen the full function. They are not going to have one of the best pass rushers in coverage. How many times did ferguson at LA tech drop in coverage? That guy was rushing the qb.I understand your point that anyone on the roster could play it and that Jackson hardly ever dropped back. But that doesn't mean we've really seen how they'd intend to fully use the spot (maybe we haven't had personnel for it). As I understand it's a jack of all trades of sorts from rushing to spot coverage and Greg's skill set probably best suits that.
Otherwise, sure anyone could play it just fine.

Just like striker. Some people have such a hard time with that position when it's just a 3rd safety on the field. They call the SS a rover.
