For Houston Lamar safety John Bonney, this year has been a little bit of an adjustment.
The 2014 prospect, who traditionally plays safety, has spent a lot of time at cornerback this year. The transition hasn't been much trouble for the 6-foot, 175-pound prospect -- he has three interceptions in the Redskins' first five games.
"This year is the first year that I've played corner as much as I have," Bonney said. "I've been playing about 60 percent corner and 40 percent safety. I like it. They're putting me on the best guy who is the biggest threat. They'll put me on him and have me be aggressive and go one-on-one."
