James Sample is competing for a starting role at free safety with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wasn’t a role he thought he’d be playing after spending more time at the strong safety position in Louisville and his skills seemingly translating better at that position in the NFL.
Now, he has to prove that he can be an adaptable defensive back for the Jags. He’ll have some decent competition for the starting role as well. His main competition is new free agent addition Sergio Brown who is a capable starter, having spent the last year with the Indianapolis Colts.
