Must be, i know alot of people, myself included, saw him moving to saftey. He has the size for it. CJ would be a little undersized for saftey, but wow would that give us some athletes out there.
Now that I think about it, it wouldn't shock me to see Rose at a safety spot.
If you think about it, he's been at the school for a season now. He can see Green/Mitchell/Jackson/Seisay/Jean-Baptiste/etc all fighting for those two spots (Since Evans has the nickel locked down). If Joseph comes to him and says "You'd make a great safety. We don't have much of a depth chart there right now, so you could play/start next year" That has to make some sense to the kid, even if his heart is set on CB as opposed to waiting 1-2 years to work into a rotation.
(Of course this is all being said without any knowledge of how good he looks at CB. He may be the next Prince A. for all I know)
Joseph has said that Rose is a great talent and if he was available this season he would be starting.
Yuppp! Joseph said Rose is a bigger, faster Ciante....and Ciante is arguably our best defender!
