The big difference is the tackles for loss, but they otherwise had nearly identical seasons. Beyond that, Cyprien did have a reputation as a box safety. Brisker is definitely more of a box safety but is multiple, which makes his skill set more valuable.

Cyrpien had four solid seasons as a starter, and then injuries took away from the length of his career.

7. Landon Collins

Landon Collins was another player who went in the first pick of the second round. That is very close to when Brisker was drafted, and the two got off to similar starts. Most teams did not need a safety to rush the passer as much as Chicago, so not many have his sacs stats. Everything else is right on par.

Landon Collins suffered a severe injury in 2022 and had an issue in 2020. He would have a stellar career if injuries did not catch up to him. His first four years earned him one of the most significant contracts at the position, and he is expected to be back and healthy for his ninth NFL season. He has three Pro Bowls and an All-Pro season on his resume.
