Inside The Bills

Whitner makes a top 10 safety list

Donte Whitner claims he loves the haters as much as those fans that support him. Both parties may want to take a closer look at one of the latest rankings of the top safeties in the game.

TheScore.com did a top 10 safety list and Whitner made the cut. The Bills safety checked in at number 9 right behind Green Bay’s Nick Collins and Jermaine Phillips of Tampa Bay.

I don’t know if Bills fans fully recognize the sacrifices Whitner has made for the overall good of the defense switching roles on the fly week to week and season to season. If he had manned one position his entire career his big play numbers undoubtedly would be better.
