Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard is reliable and tough

When the Jacksonville Jaguars released their depth chart ahead of Week 1, not many things looked out of place. Trevor Lawrence will start at quarterback while C.J. Henderson is back in the starting defense after missing a good part of training camp. However, the fact that Andrew Wingard will start at safety was rather surprising.

Wingard signed with the Jags as an undrafted free agent in 2019. After being mostly relegated to special team duties in his rookie campaign, his playing time on defense went up considerably last season.
