Kareem Jackson made the transition from cornerback to safety this season, although the versatile defensive back had snaps back-and-forth at the two positions for the Houston Texans. Teams will most likely view Jackson as a safety moving forward and his 2018 season proves that may be a wise investment.

Jackson gave up zero touchdowns once switching positions, while playing the second-most snaps in his career (1,055). The former first-round pick also had two interceptions with 10 pass breakups to go along with a career-high 85 tackles.

Jackson has spent his entire nine-year career in Houston, and the move to safety will only benefit the 30-year-old moving towards the back end of his career. The Texans would be wise to find a way to continue their tenure with Jackson while allowing Tyrann Mathieu to cash in on the open market.
