At 6'2 210 and in all likelihood good physical shape he's going to be a difficult target.
As much as the media likes to depict 6'8 300 lb bodybuilding thugs making up prisons it's hardly the case. A hard hitting safety like Sharper is not going to be anyone's bottom unless there's shivs involved.
Even then, there are going to be easier targets.
It's why I laughed when people talked about Hernandez getting raped in prison. Hernandez was probably bigger and stronger than 99% of his jail buddies.
If you were talking about a local county jail, I might agree with you. But once he hits an actual prison yard, the 6'2" 210 isn't going to give him a free pass. There will be guys who are bigger, stronger, and badder. Guys who are straight up thugs (black, white, Hispanic, whatever), hardcore criminals, etc who can and will make his life miserable if they so choose.
I mean, just because he is 6'2" and 210, it doesn't mean that he can fight his way out of a paper bag. As someone else mentioned, it wouldn't have to be 1 on 1 either, but 2 or 3 on one. Going further, it probably wouldn't be a situation where a guy walked up, introduced himself and said "hey, I'd like to engage in a boxing match".
In short, he could easily get jumped by 1 or more guys who might or might not have some form of weaponry on them. Hell, he could get knocked out cold and wake up with a sore butt.
