Who is a "free safety"?
A free safety is a player in American football who plays in the defensive backfield, typically positioned deeper than other defenders. Their main job is to protect the team’s goal area by defending against long passes, intercepting the ball, and helping stop big plays. Free safeties often have more freedom to move around the field, allowing them to react to the offense’s plays and support the defense in any area where needed. They need to be quick, have strong instincts, and be able to read the quarterback’s movements to make timely decisions.
Example
The free safety intercepted the quarterback's pass and returned it for a touchdown.
