particularly American football, a "SAFETY" refers to a defensive player positioned as the last line of defense, primarily responsible for preventing the opposing team from scoring. Safeties are strategically placed deep in the defensive backfield, usually behind the cornerbacks, and play a crucial role in defending against long passes and running plays that break through the initial defensive lines.
They are integral to the team's defensive strategy, providing coverage against receivers and tight ends and occasionally supporting in tackling ball carriers who breach the front lines. The safety position requires a combination of speed, agility, and strong decision-making skills to anticipate and react to the offense's movements effectively.
