Yes. I've been a fan of a number of different teams over the years and have seen this conversion work successfully a number of times. If I remember correctly, Tony Veland, on starting defense during Nebraska's mid-90's championships, started as a recruited running back.

What is the difference between a defensive back and a safety?
This is a big difference= A defensive back is actually a player who, instead of rushing the carrier, stays back and covers the receiving offense. The defensive back is not always defensive. Say the defensive team is running the ball. The defense will want to blitz, sending the defensive back through the defensive line. A safety is actually a rule. When the offensive team is making a play, if the runner is tackled inside their own endzone, a safety is called. This means that the offensive team MUST punt the ball to the defense.
