Safeties: Steve Atwater (2020), Brian Dawkins (2018), John Lynch (2021), Troy Polamalu (2020), 

Note that in 2019, all Defensive Backs were grouped together, and were Champ Bailey, Brian Dawkins, Ty Law, Ed Reed, and Aeneas Williams.  Cornerbacks and Safeties were split in 2020 but kept at four in both categories to keep everything modern.  With the addition of Lynch, we now have four modern Safeties, resulting in significant changes.  

Here are the statistics that we are using based on the last group of Safeties to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

  • Games Played: 182.5
  • Approximate Value: 100.3
  • Approximate Value per Games Played: 0.6041
  • Games Started: 166
  • Approximate Value per Games Started: 0.6848
  • Approximate Value per Five-Year Peak: 61
  • Approximate Value’s Best Five Results: 65
  • Pro Bowls: 7.3
  • First Team All-Pros*: 3
  • Interceptions: 30
  • Interceptions Five-Year Peak: 15.5
  • Combined Tackles: 913
  • Combined Tackles Five-Year Peak: 465.8
  • Super Bowl Wins: 1.3
  • Super Bowl Appearances: 1.5

*This is an aggregate of the Top Five finishes (5th = 1, 4th = 2, 3rd = 3, 2nd = 4th, 1st = 5)

**This is a reminder that the All-Pros we use are from the AP.
