For Shaw, having special teams tackles isn't the biggest thing in the world. Not like you scourer the sights looking for a guy to do it, it's replaceable, the team hasn't had many coverage issues in special teams. They can even get a 5'7" 185 lbs Wolfe to get down and tackle good on the unit. The blocking a player does matters more for your true special teams desired stars, it just isn't as highlightable.

What those two above said basically is what makes Steltz more valuable. Steltz main problem was he's just slow and doesnt have speed. To me, he looked like he has the smarts to play as a coverage safety, the problem is he cant stay up with speedy receivers and thats what creates a problem for when he's actually in the game. I think he'd be fine in Red Zone defense situations though.
