Iirc Pinkins played strong safety at San Diego state, and the hawks experimented with him at cornerback to see if his hips were sufficiently fluid for the Seattle defense. Pete said at the time "We already know he can play strong safety.". I think he came in to camp a little heavy, closer to 230 than 208, which prompted trying him at linebacker. Iirc, he ran a 4.4 forty, which is fast enough to play strong safety. He is also six three, the same as Kam. Kam was credited with a 4.59 forty at the combine with 4.49 low and 4.70 high. Kam shines with his mind, even instructing Thomas where to live up. People who call Kam stupid are ignorant, and are insulting Thomas by calling Kam stupid.
Anyhow, Pinkins is faster than Kam, so I would like to see him tried at strong safety.
