George Wilson, S, Buffalo Bills
Replacing: Donte Whitner
Why He Can: It’s not just that Wilson can cover the loss of Whitner, it’s that he’ll be an upgrade if the way he played in 2009 is anything to go by. While Whitner gave up six touchdowns on his way to a -3.4 grade last year, Wilson was actually our third ranked safety in 2009. The converted wide receiver didn’t allow a single TD while picking off four balls, and earning a higher grade in run support than Whitner. He also had 10 more defensive stops, despite Whitner making more tackles. All in all, Bills fan need not fret about Wilson stepping up.
