DeShawn Shead .. Leading the way in versatility.

“It’s incredible how versatile DeShawn is,” Sherman said. “Every week it seems like he’s playing a different position, whether it’s inside, outside, strong safety, free safety. I think he’s been very accommodating and very willing to do whatever he can to help this football team. I think as long as you can do it, the more you can do, you always have a spot out there on the field. He’s the perfect example of that, always the more you can do. We appreciate everything he’s done. He’s played corner, safety. I think he was the first player to play corner, safety and nickel in one game. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics moving from safety to corner, and moving to both safety spots. I think it’s a lot more mental than anybody could ever understand. You really have to tip your hat to him and what he’s been able to do.”

“It is rare,” added defensive coordinator Kris Richard. “It is very rare… He’s been able to go out there and practice that safety, and get in the game and play corner. It’s just a testament to his level of preparation.”
