These 4 free-agents would bolster Jacksonville Jaguars CB room in 2021
The Jacksonville Jaguars could add depth with any of these two.
Mike Hilton was having a fine season before he missed four games with a shoulder injury. On the bright side, he’s healthier and could play in Week 11. In the first four games of the season, he allowed 15 completions on 21 targets and one touchdown. Also, he registered 29 tackles, one pass deflection, and one interception.
Hilton mainly plays on the slot so if the Jaguars decide to let Hayden, who plays the same position, test the free-agent market, they could bring in the Mississippi standout. He could bring similar production to Jacksonville at an affordable price.
You can say what you want about the Cincinnati Bengals, but one thing they’re good at is finding corners. While none of their cornerbacks receive national recognition or All-Pro honors, most of them end up becoming key contributors and William Jackson III isn’t different.
Originally a first-round pick in 2016’s players’ selection process, the Houston standout recorded 27 reflections in the first two years of his NFL career. This season, he’s recorded 30 tackles, four passes defensed, one interception. Williams may not be a Pro Bowler but he could be a nice addition to the Jaguars’ secondary.
