Two of the most important things about being a successful safety are having good instincts and playing smart. Guys like Justin Simmons, Adrian Amos, Marcus Williams, and Harrison Smith aren't great athletes with 4.3 speed but they're among the best safeties in the league because they play with discipline and are instinctual in coverage. 

Agreed. But a key thing for 98% of defensive players in the NFL is the scheme fit and the position they play. To be honest, that's why I'm so high on Solomon Thomas as a 3T.

But there are very few pure "box safeties" that are successful in the current NFL.

 Very true but there are also very few systems that use a true box safety(Gus Bradley being one of them)

So with the Broncos OT getting injured and at risk of losing his whole guaranteed salary, we should expect every player back in their facilities soon.

Either that or a bunch of players coming in 20 lbs overweight.

James only played 63 snaps for the Broncos and was getting paid a ton.
