"I'm confident in my abilities," Belton said on Wednesday, via NJ Advance Media. "I feel like I earned the right to play (more last year). . . This year, I'm trying to take the job."

"Coming off last year, I feel like I deserve this spot — and I'm going to go out there and earn it for sure. I feel like I've earned what I've gotten so far (with first-team reps in 2024). Things might change. (But) if I go out and make plays, it's not going to matter. That's the mindset."

Rich: Yes, that's the ball-hawk I saw at Iowa.

Not being a pure DB, he didn't get a lot of opportunities to show off his ball skills.

He is staking his claim to a starting job and I think he'll get it. I'm far from an expert on defenses, but IMO it doesn't hurt to have Nubin on the same team. Both guys are super-versatile and be used together (even along with Simmons, all at the same time) and the over-all scheme still makes sense.

If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

Bob,

Bowen's defense values safeties, so the more the merrier.   It would be outstanding for Bowen to have a core of 4 solid safeties in Nuben, Belton, Pennock, and throw in Simmons
