The free safety position is no different, as veteran Sergio Brown is taking on rookie James Sample for the starting spot.
Both Brown and Sample are new additions to the Jaguars. Sample is a fourth-round pick from this year's NFL draft, whereas Brown is a free-agent signing. Their age and experience are the major differences, but it goes deeper than that.
Brown went to Notre Dame for four years in college and slowly worked his way up to a starting spot for the Fighting Irish. He started a total of 18 games and tallied 78 tackles over those two years.
