Who do you want to start at nickel?

Thornton is the perfect replacement for Jakobe Thomas in our defense. A lot of similarities to our nickel except on the opposite side of the slot so less challenging coverage responsibilities.

I like Fitz best roaming over the top but Poyser is really good & locked in there so my guess is he is the one to slide in at nickel. I think he can do well if he adds some weight this offseason. I was worried about his physicality but honestly he didn’t seem timid or out of place last year.

It might look a little different but BF has the skill set to continue the playmaking tradition that Agent 0 started.

Maybe he'll play Nickel on early downs and slide over on obvious passing downs. That's not a crazy strategy. He'd still have to tackle better on early downs, but we blitzed the FARK out of the slot position last season.

JJ dunigan is young but athletically most comparable to Keonte with more upside.
