Jaguars 2023 roster review: S Latavious Brini

Latavious Brini earned a spot on the Jaguars roster the hard way, impressing coaches in a minicamp tryout.

The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is still off on the horizon. Join us in the NFL’s dead zone with a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.

There’s a few different paths that can lead to a rookie earning a spot on an NFL roster. There are those who are lucky enough to hear their name called during the NFL draft and there are those who have to battle their way on to a team as an undrafted free agent. Then there are those who have to battle just to get a contract.

Former Arkansas defensive back Latavious Brini wasn’t drafted and didn’t receive an undrafted contract either. Instead he was one of several players who participated in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ rookie minicamp with the goal of impressing coaches. He pulled it off and earned a spot.

Whether or not the 6’2, 215-pound safety can earn his place on the 53-man roster or the Jaguars practice squad remains to be seen, but just by earning an NFL contract, Brini is already beating the odds.

Contract (2023): $750,000 base salary, $750,000 cap hit.

Acquired: Jaguars signed Brini to a three-year contract on May 15, 2023.
