Safeties make a lot of plays with their brains. That is why a lot of them are able to play well into their thirties. Darren Sharper was older than Reggie when the Saints signed him and he turned out to be their defensive MVP in their Super Bowl season. I think Brian Dawkins played until he was 50.
Charles Woodson as well. There's a lot of examples of safeties playing well deep into their 30's. Hopefully Nelson will join those guys.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
